Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than Iris Pro Graphics P6300?
Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 1,582 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Iris Pro Graphics P6300 is a 2014 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2014, 1331.8% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, and better upscaling support with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is about 166.0% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 1331.8% higher G3D Mark. Iris Pro Graphics P6300 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Iris Pro Graphics P6300 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Iris Pro Graphics P6300 is 2014 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 1,582 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The Iris Pro Graphics P6300 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Iris Pro Graphics P6300 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
