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 6.2% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon AI PRO R9700 instead at 28,589 vs 26,919, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.

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: 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 4070 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $700 cheaper on MSRP at $599 vs $1,299, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 104.2% (44.9 vs 22.0), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
