GeForce GTX 1070

2016

Why buy it

✅10.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $121 less on MSRP ($379 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
✅Delivers 29.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 35.6 vs 27.6 G3D/$ ($379 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
✅Draws 150W instead of 200W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Intel Arc Pro B60

2025

Why buy it

✅More future proof: Xe2 (2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is Intel Arc Pro B60 better than GeForce GTX 1070?

Yes. Intel Arc Pro B60 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce GTX 1070 averages 10.8% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 13,807 vs 13,507 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Intel Arc Pro B60 is a 2025 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?

Intel Arc Pro B60 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2016, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 5nm process instead of 16nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

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

Intel Arc Pro B60 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Intel Arc Pro B60 is about 31.9% more expensive on MSRP at $500 MSRP versus $379 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.2% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 1070 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

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

No, not for a fresh gaming build. GeForce GTX 1070 is 2016 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM, 13,507 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
