About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

Arc B570

2025

Why buy it

  • 41.6% more average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $160 less on MSRP ($219 MSRP vs $379 MSRP).
  • Delivers 70.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 64.2 vs 37.7 G3D/$ ($219 MSRP vs $379 MSRP).
  • More future proof: Xe2 (2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
  • Draws 150W instead of 180W, a 30W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 5700 better than Arc B570?
Yes. Radeon RX 5700 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 1.7% higher PassMark G3D performance. It also comes from 2019 instead of 2025, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.
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, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, and a 5nm process instead of 7nm. 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?
Radeon RX 5700 is about 73.1% more expensive on MSRP at $379 MSRP versus $219 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.7% higher G3D Mark. Arc B570 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, Radeon RX 5700 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Arc B570 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.
When does Arc B570 make more sense than Radeon RX 5700?
Yes. Arc B570 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (150W vs 180W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $219 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon RX 5700. The trade-off is that Radeon RX 5700 currently gives you 1.7% higher G3D Mark and lower estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. Arc B570 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
