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

GeForce G105M

2016

Why buy it

✅2.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

❌2016 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 0.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
❌100% higher power demand at 60W vs 30W.

GeForce G200

2017

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 30W instead of 60W, a 30W reduction.
✅More future proof: Pascal (2016−2021) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce G105M 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?

GeForce G105M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 2.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce G200 instead at 136 vs 133, 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 G105M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond because it comes out ahead on the available hardware-headroom signals for this matchup.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce G200 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, GeForce G200 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce G105M has the stronger long-term case.
