Quick Answers

So, is Arc A770M better than Radeon RX 5600?
Yes. Arc A770M is clearly the better overall GPU here. Arc A770M averages 103.6% more FPS across 39 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 11,853 vs 11,753 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Arc A770M is a 2022 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon RX 5600 is a 2020 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. 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 A770M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2020, more VRAM at 16 GB instead of 6 GB, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, and a 6nm 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 A770M is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $229 MSRP, and you are getting 103.6% more estimated average FPS across 39 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.9% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 5600 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, Arc A770M is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon RX 5600 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.
Is Radeon RX 5600 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon RX 5600 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $229 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, Arc A770M earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
