Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 better than Arc A750?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 34.9% higher PassMark G3D performance, DLSS 2 Super Resolution, and 12 GB vs 8 GB of VRAM. It also comes from 2021 instead of 2022, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 3060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting 34.9% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 8 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) 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 3060 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3060 is about 13.8% more expensive on MSRP at $329 MSRP versus $289 MSRP, and you are getting 34.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 18.5%. Arc A750 is the newer 2022 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Arc A750 make more sense than GeForce RTX 3060?

Yes. Arc A750 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture and staying closer to $289 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 3060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 3060 currently gives you 34.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 18.5%.
