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.

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

  • 66.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $101 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 84.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 27.6 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 Ti better than Intel Arc Pro B60?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 66.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data, 47.1% higher PassMark G3D performance, and DLSS 2 Super Resolution. It also comes from 2020 instead of 2025, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
Intel Arc Pro B60 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2020, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of DLSS Super Resolution, and a 5nm process instead of 8nm. 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?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is about $101 cheaper on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $500 MSRP, and you are getting 66.4% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 47.1% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 84.4%. Intel Arc Pro B60 is the newer 2025 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Intel Arc Pro B60 make more sense than GeForce RTX 3060 Ti?
Yes. Intel Arc Pro B60 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, future-proofing, and staying closer to $500 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 3060 Ti currently gives you 47.1% higher G3D Mark and 66.4% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 84.4%.
