Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Intel Arc Pro B60?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 79.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data, 60.6% 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 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about $1 cheaper on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $500 MSRP, and you are getting 79.6% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 60.6% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 60.9%. 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 3070?

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 3070. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 3070 currently gives you 60.6% higher G3D Mark and 79.6% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 60.9%.
