GeForce 310M

2015

Why buy it

✅Draws 33W instead of 170W, a 137W reduction.
✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce Go 7600 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2015 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

GeForce Go 7600

2013

Why buy it

✅3.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

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.
❌415.2% higher power demand at 170W vs 33W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce Go 7600 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 3.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.8% in PassMark G3D (128 vs 127), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce 310M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a newer 2015 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce Go 7600 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce Go 7600 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce 310M has the stronger long-term case.
