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

GeForce GT 610

2012

Why buy it

  • Costs $101 less on MSRP ($49 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • Delivers 212.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.8 vs 2.2 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs 512 MB).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon E6460 across 39 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2012 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 44.4% higher power demand at 65W vs 45W.

Radeon E6460

2011

Why buy it

  • 17.4% more average FPS across 39 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Draws 45W instead of 65W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2011 hardware with 512 MB 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 2.2 vs 6.8 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $49 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon E6460 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 17.4% in average FPS across 39 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GT 610 instead at 331 vs 324, 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 610 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 2 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, a 28nm process instead of 40nm, and a newer 2012 generation instead of 2011. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GT 610 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $101 cheaper on MSRP at $49 vs $150, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 212.7% (6.8 vs 2.2), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon E6460 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
