Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 18480.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 566175% in PassMark G3D (22,651 vs 4), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 12nm, and 34 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $270 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $129, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 182981.4% (56.8 vs 0.0), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
