Quick Answers

So, is Arc A770 better than GeForce GTX 1070?

Yes. Arc A770 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Arc A770 averages 30.9% more FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 13,332 vs 13,507 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Arc A770 is a 2022 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while GeForce GTX 1070 is a 2016 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

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

Arc A770 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2016, more VRAM at 16 GB instead of 8 GB, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 6nm process instead of 16nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Arc A770 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Arc A770 is about $30 cheaper on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $379 MSRP, and you are getting 30.9% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (13,332 vs 13,507). It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 7.2%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is GeForce GTX 1070 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1070 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $379 MSRP, even if Arc A770 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
