2023

Why buy it

✅+804.8% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Access to DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023).
✅More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 11.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $169 MSRP).
❌33.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 120W.

Radeon RX 570X

2018

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 11.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($169 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 120W instead of 160W, a 40W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (1,923 vs 17,400).
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU better than Radeon RX 570X?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 17,400 vs 1,923 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX 570X is a 2018 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2018, 804.8% more raw performance headroom, better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR Frame Generation (2023), and a 5nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $169 MSRP, and you are getting 804.8% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 570X really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX 570X still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 570X is 2018 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM, 1,923 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
