Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 better than GeForce MX570 A?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 4070 averages 299.4% more FPS across 13 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 26,919 vs 6,208 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4070 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while GeForce MX570 A is a 2022 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?

GeForce RTX 4070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2022, 333.6% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 4 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) 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 4070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4070 is about 99.7% more expensive on MSRP at $599 MSRP versus $300 MSRP, and you are getting 299.4% more estimated average FPS across 13 tracked games in our benchmark data and 333.6% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 117.2%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is GeForce MX570 A still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce MX570 A is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $300 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
