GeForce 920MX vs Radeon 625: 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 920MX

2016

Why buy it

  • 36.1% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Draws 16W instead of 50W, a 34W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2016 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Radeon 625

2019

Why buy it

  • GeForce 920MX is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon 625 is the less risky modern option long term.
  • More future proof: GCN 3.0 (2014−2019) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce 920MX across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2019 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 212.5% higher power demand at 50W vs 16W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce 920MX is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 36.1% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon 625 instead at 1,077 vs 1,064, 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?
Radeon 625 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon 625 makes the most sense to buy today. It is priced the same on MSRP at $100 vs $100, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 1.2% (10.8 vs 10.6), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GeForce 920MX still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
