Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The RADEON 9200 SE is significantly newer (2025 vs 2015). The RADEON 9200 SE likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce 6200A lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The GeForce 6200A is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 33.3% higher G3D Mark score. However, the RADEON 9200 SE offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
