Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than Radeon RX Vega M GL?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 3,906 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX Vega M GL is a 2018 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 2018, 479.9% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, 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 166.0% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 479.9% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX Vega M GL really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX Vega M GL still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX Vega M GL is 2018 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 3,906 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 Vega M GL 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 Vega M GL relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
