Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro 5300 better than Radeon RX 470 (móvel)?

Yes. Radeon Pro 5300 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 7,125 vs 7,000 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Pro 5300 is a 2020 card with FSR upscaling, while Radeon RX 470 (móvel) is a 2016 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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?

Radeon Pro 5300 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2016 and a 7nm process instead of 14nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

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

Radeon Pro 5300 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Pro 5300 is about 67.6% more expensive on MSRP at $300 MSRP versus $179 MSRP, and you are getting 1.8% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX 470 (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) is 2016 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 7,000 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
