GeForce 705M vs Radeon HD 8570M: 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 705M

2015

Why buy it

✅Draws 75W instead of 100W, a 25W reduction.
✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon HD 8570M 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.

Radeon HD 8570M

2013

Why buy it

✅15.3% 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.
❌33.3% higher power demand at 100W vs 75W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon HD 8570M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 15.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce 705M instead at 456 vs 450, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.

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

GeForce 705M 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 705M makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Radeon HD 8570M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
