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

GeForce 8200

2014

Why buy it

✅2.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Draws 33W instead of 110W, a 77W reduction.
✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2014 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌
14.3% HIGHER MSRP
$40 MSRPvs$35 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 4.1 vs 4.7 G3D/$ ($40 MSRP vs $35 MSRP).

Radeon HD 4350

2008

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce 8200 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 2.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon HD 4350 instead at 165 vs 164, 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 8200 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 55nm and a newer 2014 generation instead of 2008. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon HD 4350 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $5 cheaper on MSRP at $35 vs $40, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 15% (4.7 vs 4.1), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 4350 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce 8200 has the stronger long-term case.
