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

GeForce GT 140

2014

Why buy it

  • Costs $3,200 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $3,299 MSRP).
  • Delivers 3273.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.6 vs 0.2 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $3,299 MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Draws 64W instead of 225W, a 161W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2014 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
