Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GT 625 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 33.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GT 620 instead at 388 vs 375, 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 620 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2012 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 620 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1 cheaper on MSRP at $59 vs $60, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 5.2% (6.6 vs 6.3), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GeForce GT 625 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
