GeForce Go 6150 vs GeForce Go 6400: 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 Go 6150

2012

Why buy it

  • 3025% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 16 MB).
  • More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (19 vs 24).
  • 2012 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

GeForce Go 6400

2012

Why buy it

  • +26.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 16 MB vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
