See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce 310M

2015

Why buy it

✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2015 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 2.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $49 MSRP).

Seria Mobility Radeon HD 3400

2009

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
