Radeon RX 6700S vs RTX A4000 Mobile: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Radeon RX 6700S

2022

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 31.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($479 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 80W instead of 115W, a 35W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than RTX A4000 Mobile across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

RTX A4000 Mobile

2021

Why buy it

  • 20.1% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • Radeon RX 6700S is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 31.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $479 MSRP).
  • 43.8% higher power demand at 115W vs 80W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
RTX A4000 Mobile is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 20.1% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon RX 6700S instead at 15,061 vs 14,782, 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?
Radeon RX 6700S is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with FSR 3 (2023) and FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023), while RTX A4000 Mobile is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 7nm process instead of 8nm, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2021. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon RX 6700S makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. RTX A4000 Mobile still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the Radeon RX 6700S is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The RTX A4000 Mobile does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The RTX A4000 Mobile gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon RX 6700S leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
