Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon HD 7560D is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 3.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.7% in PassMark G3D (452 vs 449), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce 9800 GT is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 1 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon HD 7560D makes the most sense to buy today. It is $59 cheaper on MSRP at $101 vs $160, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 59.5% (4.5 vs 2.8), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 7560D is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce 9800 GT has the stronger long-term case.
