Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro W5700 better than Radeon RX Vega 64?

Yes. Radeon Pro W5700 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon RX Vega 64 averages 20.6% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,380 vs 13,949 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Pro W5700 is a 2019 card with FSR upscaling, while Radeon RX Vega 64 is a 2017 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?

Radeon Pro W5700 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2017 and a 7nm process instead of 14nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

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

Radeon Pro W5700 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Pro W5700 is about 60.1% more expensive on MSRP at $799 MSRP versus $499 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.1% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX Vega 64 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX Vega 64 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX Vega 64 is 2017 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM, 13,949 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
