Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 better than Iris Pro Graphics 5200?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 19,548 vs 1,172 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is a 2013 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2013, 1567.9% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, and better upscaling support with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 is about 99.3% more expensive on MSRP at $299 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 1567.9% higher G3D Mark. Iris Pro Graphics 5200 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Iris Pro Graphics 5200 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is 2013 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 1,172 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
