GeForce 920A vs Radeon Vega 3 Ryzen 3 3200U: 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 920A

2015

Why buy it

  • 1.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 8.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs Unknown).
  • Radeon Vega 3 Ryzen 3 3200U is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce 920A is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 120% higher power demand at 33W vs 15W.

Radeon Vega 3 Ryzen 3 3200U
