Quick Answers

So, is Arc B570 better than Radeon Pro Vega II Duo?
Yes. Arc B570 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Arc B570 averages 36.0% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,060 vs 14,018 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Arc B570 is a 2025 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon Pro Vega II Duo is a 2019 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?
Arc B570 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2019, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 5nm process instead of 7nm. 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 B570 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Arc B570 is about $4,180 cheaper on MSRP at $219 MSRP versus $4,399 MSRP, and you are getting 36.0% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.3% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 1914.7%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon Pro Vega II Duo still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon Pro Vega II Duo 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 $4,399 MSRP, even if Arc B570 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
