GeForce GT 415 vs Radeon HD 6370D: 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 415

2011

Why buy it

  • Costs $1 less on MSRP ($49 MSRP vs $50 MSRP).
  • Draws 70W instead of 250W, a 180W reduction.
  • More future proof: Fermi 2.0 (2010−2014) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon HD 6370D across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2011 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 14400% longer card at 145mm vs 1mm.

Radeon HD 6370D

2010

Why buy it

  • 24.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Measures 1mm instead of 145mm, a 144mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon HD 6370D is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 24.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.6% in PassMark G3D (255 vs 251), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GT 415 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a newer 2011 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 415 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1 cheaper on MSRP at $49 vs $50, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 0.4% (5.1 vs 5.1), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon HD 6370D still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
