See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

2023

Why buy it

  • 124.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 28.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 56.8 vs 44.3 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $179 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 33.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 120W.

Radeon RX 470/570

2016

Why buy it

  • Costs $220 less on MSRP ($179 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Draws 120W instead of 160W, a 40W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 2016 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 44.3 vs 56.8 G3D/$ ($179 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

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 124.2% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 185.5% in PassMark G3D (22,651 vs 7,935), 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: native frame generation with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while Radeon RX 470/570 has no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 14nm, 34 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016. 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 $220 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $179, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 28.1% (56.8 vs 44.3), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The Radeon RX 470/570 does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon RX 470/570 leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
