Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4070 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 19124.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 384457.1% in PassMark G3D (26,919 vs 7), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4070 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 12 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while GeForce4 Ti 4400 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2022. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4070 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $300 more expensive on MSRP at $599 vs $299, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 191857.6% (44.9 vs 0.0), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
