GeForce 6200A

2015

Why buy it

  • +33.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 128 MB vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2015 hardware with 128 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

RADEON IGP 345M

2016

Why buy it

  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 128 MB).
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (3 vs 4).
  • 2016 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
