Quick Answers

So, is Arc A770 better than Radeon RX 5600 XT?

Yes. Arc A770 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 61.7% more average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data, 0.9% higher PassMark G3D performance, and 16 GB vs 6 GB of VRAM. It also comes from 2022 instead of 2020, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Arc A770 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?

Radeon RX 5600 XT is easier to justify on price alone at $279 MSRP, but Arc A770 is still the stronger gaming card overall. Arc A770 is about 25.1% more expensive on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $279 MSRP, and you are getting 61.7% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (13,332 vs 13,453). Radeon RX 5600 XT still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. Go with Arc A770 if you want the better experience; go with Radeon RX 5600 XT if keeping cost down matters more than squeezing out the highest performance.

Is Radeon RX 5600 XT still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon RX 5600 XT is still a very good gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. Around $279 MSRP, it makes sense if you would rather save money than pay about 25.1% more for the extra performance. If you have more room in the budget, Arc A770 is still the safer long-term pick.
