Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon AI PRO R9700 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 21.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 46.3% in PassMark G3D (28,589 vs 19,548), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4060 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 AI PRO R9700 has no comparable frame-generation support. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 4060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1,000 cheaper on MSRP at $299 vs $1,299, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 197.1% (65.4 vs 22.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon AI PRO R9700 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
