Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon HD 7660D is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 1.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GT 630M instead at 521 vs 512, 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 630M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 2 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM and a 28nm process instead of 40nm. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon HD 7660D makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 7660D is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GT 630M has the stronger long-term case.
