GeForce GT 240 vs GeForce GTS 150M: 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 GT 240

2014

Why buy it

  • ✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($80 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • ✅Draws 64W instead of 106W, a 42W reduction.
  • ✅More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Lower average FPS than GeForce GTS 150M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • ❌2014 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

GeForce GTS 150M

2010

Why buy it

  • ✅16.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

  • ❌2010 hardware with 1 GB 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 6.2 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $80 MSRP).
  • ❌65.6% higher power demand at 106W vs 64W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTS 150M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 16.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.8% in PassMark G3D (504 vs 495), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GT 240 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2014 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GT 240 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce GTS 150M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
