GeForce 830A vs Radeon HD 5750: 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 830A

2014

Why buy it

  • 38.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $30 less on MSRP ($100 MSRP vs $130 MSRP).
  • Delivers 30.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 11.7 vs 9.0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs $130 MSRP).
  • Draws 33W instead of 86W, a 53W reduction.

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.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce 830A is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 38.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.3% in PassMark G3D (1,173 vs 1,169), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce 830A 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 2009. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce 830A makes the most sense to buy today. It is $30 cheaper on MSRP at $100 vs $130, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 30.4% (11.7 vs 9.0), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
