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 300.0% in average FPS across 18 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.2% in PassMark G3D (170 vs 168), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce 9200 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2016 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce 9200 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $17 cheaper on MSRP at $50 vs $67, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 32.4% (3.4 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.
