See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce G100

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $27 less on MSRP ($40 MSRP vs $67 MSRP).
  • Delivers 73.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 4.4 vs 2.5 G3D/$ ($40 MSRP vs $67 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 250W, a 220W reduction.
  • Measures 168mm instead of 193mm, a 25mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon HDG 4670 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2017 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon HDG 4670 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 5.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce G100 instead at 176 vs 170, 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?
GeForce G100 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 14nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2017 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce G100 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $27 cheaper on MSRP at $40 vs $67, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 73.4% (4.4 vs 2.5), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon HDG 4670 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
