GeForce G102M vs Radeon HDG 4670: 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 G102M

2015

Why buy it

  • Draws 33W instead of 250W, a 217W reduction.
  • More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon HDG 4670 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2015 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $67 MSRP).

Radeon HDG 4670

2010

Why buy it

  • 7.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($67 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 657.6% higher power demand at 250W vs 33W.

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 7.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.2% in PassMark G3D (170 vs 168), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce G102M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2015 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon HDG 4670 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HDG 4670 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce G102M has the stronger long-term case.
