Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon HD 6370D is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 20.0% in average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 4.5% in PassMark G3D (255 vs 244), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

GeForce 7800 GT is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2013 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon HD 6370D makes the most sense to buy today. It is $399 cheaper on MSRP at $50 vs $449, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 838.5% (5.1 vs 0.5), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 6370D is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce 7800 GT has the stronger long-term case.
