Quick Answers

So, is Arc B570 better than Radeon RX 6600M?
Yes. Arc B570 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 23.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1% higher PassMark G3D performance. It also comes from 2025 instead of 2021, 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 2021, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR 3 + AFMF, 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?
Arc B570 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Arc B570 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $219 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 23.8% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.0% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon RX 6600M still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon RX 6600M is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if Arc B570 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 6600M is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The Arc B570 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.
