Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Intel Arc Pro A30M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 1.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon RX 5500M instead at 5,954 vs 5,862, 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?

Intel Arc Pro A30M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 6nm process instead of 7nm, 8 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2019. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon RX 5500M makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon RX 5500M is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Intel Arc Pro A30M has the stronger long-term case.
