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 153.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 239.1% in PassMark G3D (22,651 vs 6,679), 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: the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while Quadro M4000 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 28nm, 34 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2015. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $392 cheaper on MSRP at $399 vs $791, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 572.3% (56.8 vs 8.4), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
