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

GeForce G200

2017

Why buy it

  • ✅More future proof: Pascal (2016−2021) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • ❌2017 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • ❌
    510.2% HIGHER MSRP
    $299 MSRPvs$49 MSRP
  • ❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.5 vs 2.8 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs $49 MSRP).

Mobility Radeon HD 4330

2009

Why buy it
