Intel Arc Pro A60

2023

Why buy it

✅Costs $269 less on MSRP ($380 MSRP vs $649 MSRP).
✅Delivers 72.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 25.0 vs 14.5 G3D/$ ($380 MSRP vs $649 MSRP).
✅More future proof: Generation 12.7 (2022−2023) on 6nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 130W instead of 275W, a 145W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon R9 Fury X across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

So, is Intel Arc Pro A60 better than Radeon R9 Fury X?

Yes. Intel Arc Pro A60 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon R9 Fury X averages 17.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 9,493 vs 9,382 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Intel Arc Pro A60 is a 2023 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon R9 Fury X is a 2015 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?

Intel Arc Pro A60 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2015, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 6nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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

Intel Arc Pro A60 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Intel Arc Pro A60 is about $269 cheaper on MSRP at $380 MSRP versus $649 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 72.8%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon R9 Fury X still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon R9 Fury X 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 $649 MSRP, even if Intel Arc Pro A60 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
