FirePro RG220

2013

Why buy it

✅More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2013 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 6.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $50 MSRP).
❌233.3% higher power demand at 150W vs 45W.

Radeon HD 6620G

2011

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($50 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 45W instead of 150W, a 105W reduction.
