GeForce GT 240 vs Radeon HD 7660G: 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

✅0.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
✅More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

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.
❌
60% HIGHER MSRP
$80 MSRPvs$50 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 6.2 vs 9.6 G3D/$ ($80 MSRP vs $50 MSRP).
❌42.2% higher power demand at 64W vs 45W.

Radeon HD 7660G

2012

Why buy it

✅Costs $30 less on MSRP ($50 MSRP vs $80 MSRP).
✅Delivers 55.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.6 vs 6.2 G3D/$ ($50 MSRP vs $80 MSRP).
✅Draws 45W instead of 64W, a 19W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce GT 240 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2012 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 GT 240 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 0.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.9% in PassMark G3D (495 vs 481), 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: 1 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, a 28nm process instead of 40nm, and a newer 2014 generation instead of 2012. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon HD 7660G makes the most sense to buy today. It is $30 cheaper on MSRP at $50 vs $80, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 55.5% (9.6 vs 6.2), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 7660G is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GT 240 has the stronger long-term case.
