Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU better than Radeon Pro Vega II?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 17,400 vs 15,597 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon Pro Vega II 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?

GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2019, 11.6% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling. 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 4060 Laptop GPU is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $2,199 MSRP, and you are getting 11.6% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro Vega II really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon Pro Vega II still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon Pro Vega II is 2019 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 15,597 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
