Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon HD 6320M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 7.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.7% in PassMark G3D (198 vs 191), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce 9400 GT is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 1 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, a 28nm process instead of 40nm, and a newer 2015 generation instead of 2011. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce 9400 GT makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Radeon HD 6320M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
