GeForce 320M vs Radeon HD 6320M: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

GeForce 320M

2015

Why buy it

✅15.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Draws 33W instead of 186W, a 153W reduction.
✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 256 MB vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2015 hardware with 256 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Radeon HD 6320M

2011

Why buy it

✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 256 MB).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce 320M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2011 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌463.6% higher power demand at 186W vs 33W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce 320M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 15.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 6.1% in PassMark G3D (210 vs 198), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

GeForce 320M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2015 generation instead of 2011. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
