❌23900% longer card at 240mm vs 1mm.

Radeon RX 470 (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

✅Costs $220 less on MSRP ($179 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
✅Draws 85W instead of 160W, a 75W reduction.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than Radeon RX 470 (móvel)?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 7,000 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX 470 (móvel) is a 2016 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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 2016, 223.6% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling. 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 122.9% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $179 MSRP, and you are getting 223.6% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX 470 (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) is 2016 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 7,000 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. 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 Radeon RX 470 (móvel) 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 Radeon RX 470 (móvel) relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
