Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon R7 A365 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 2.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.4% in PassMark G3D (781 vs 770), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GT 440 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 2 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GT 440 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $30 cheaper on MSRP at $79 vs $109, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 36% (9.7 vs 7.2), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon R7 A365 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
