Radeon R2E

2013

Why buy it

✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 256 MB).
✅Draws 55W instead of 250W, a 195W reduction.
✅More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce Go 7800 GTX across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2013 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 Go 7800 GTX is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 25.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon R2E instead at 211 vs 210, 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 Go 7800 GTX 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?

Radeon R2E 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 R2E is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce Go 7800 GTX has the stronger long-term case.
