Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon Pro V520 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 2.5% in PassMark G3D (8,000 vs 7,805), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.

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

Radeon Pro V520 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and a 7nm process instead of 12nm. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.
