GeForce GT 415 vs Radeon HD 8350G: 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).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs Unknown).
  • Radeon HD 8350G is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GT 415 is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 70W instead of 130W, a 60W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon HD 8350G 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.

Radeon HD 8350G

2012

Why buy it

  • 22.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2012 hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 85.7% higher power demand at 130W vs 70W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon HD 8350G is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 22.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.8% in PassMark G3D (258 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: 512 MB vs Unknown of VRAM. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon HD 8350G makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1 more expensive on MSRP at $50 vs $49, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 0.7% (5.2 vs 5.1), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p, Radeon HD 8350G is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GT 415 has the stronger long-term case.
