Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 better than Quadro FX 570?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 26,919 vs 258 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4070 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Quadro FX 570 is a 2008 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 4070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2008, 10333.7% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 256 MB, 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 4070 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4070 is about 201.0% more expensive on MSRP at $599 MSRP versus $199 MSRP, and you are getting 10333.7% higher G3D Mark. Quadro FX 570 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Quadro FX 570 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Quadro FX 570 is 2008 hardware with 256 MB of VRAM, 258 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
