GeForce 940A

2015

Why buy it

✅Costs $20 less on MSRP ($80 MSRP vs $100 MSRP).
✅Delivers 28.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 13.8 vs 10.8 G3D/$ ($80 MSRP vs $100 MSRP).
✅Draws 33W instead of 50W, a 17W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.

Radeon 625

2019

Why buy it

✅Less risky long-term buy than GeForce 940A: it remains the more sensible modern option while GeForce 940A is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅More future proof: GCN 3.0 (2014−2019) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2019-era hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce 940A better than Radeon 625?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 1,107 vs 1,077 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce 940A is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (33W vs 50W).

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon 625 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2015 and better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce 940A can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $80 MSRP. GeForce 940A is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce 940A is about $20 cheaper on MSRP at $80 MSRP versus $100 MSRP, and you are getting 2.8% higher G3D Mark. Radeon 625 is the newer 2019 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon 625 make more sense than GeForce 940A?

Yes. Radeon 625 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, future-proofing, and staying closer to $100 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce 940A. The trade-off is that GeForce 940A currently gives you 2.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 28.5%.
