Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than Radeon RX 560X?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 3,340 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX 560X is a 2018 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. 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 2018, 578.2% 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 Frame Generation (2023). 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 today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is about 209.3% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $129 MSRP, and you are getting 578.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 119.3%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon RX 560X still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon RX 560X is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $129 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
