Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT better than Intel Arc Pro A60?

Yes. Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 9,558 vs 9,493 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 2020 card with FSR upscaling, while Intel Arc Pro A60 is a 2023 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?

Intel Arc Pro A60 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020, more VRAM at 4 GB instead of Unknown, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, 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 Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $380 MSRP, and you are getting 0.7% higher G3D Mark. Intel Arc Pro A60 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Intel Arc Pro A60 make more sense than Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT?

Yes. Intel Arc Pro A60 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, future-proofing, and staying closer to $380 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT. The trade-off is that Radeon RX Vega Ryzen 5 5600GT currently gives you 0.7% higher G3D Mark. Intel Arc Pro A60 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
