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

GeForce GT 240M

2012

Why buy it

✅Draws 32W instead of 50W, a 18W reduction.
✅More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2012 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 4.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $49 MSRP).

Mobility Radeon HD 545v

2010

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 4.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

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.
❌56.3% higher power demand at 50W vs 32W.
