Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon HDG 4670 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 7.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.7% in PassMark G3D (170 vs 164), so the answer here is pretty clean.
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 40nm and a newer 2014 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce 8200 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $27 cheaper on MSRP at $40 vs $67, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 61.6% (4.1 vs 2.5), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon HDG 4670 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
