GeForce GT 320M vs Radeon HD 2400: 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 320M

2017

Why buy it

  • 1.4% 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).
  • Draws 30W instead of 190W, a 160W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2017 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 1.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $79 MSRP).

Radeon HD 2400

2009

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 1.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($79 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GT 320M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2009 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 533.3% higher power demand at 190W vs 30W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GT 320M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 1.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon HD 2400 instead at 121 vs 114, 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 GT 320M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 1 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, a 14nm process instead of 55nm, and a newer 2017 generation instead of 2009. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon HD 2400 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 HD 2400 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GT 320M has the stronger long-term case.
