GeForce GT 645M vs Radeon 620: 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 645M

2012

Why buy it

  • βœ…300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs 512 MB).
  • βœ…Draws 32W instead of 50W, a 18W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Lower average FPS than Radeon 620 across 50 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.
  • ❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 9.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $100 MSRP).

Radeon 620

2019

Why buy it

  • βœ…5.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • βœ…Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • βœ…GeForce GT 645M is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon 620 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • ❌2019 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • ❌56.3% higher power demand at 50W vs 32W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon 620 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 5.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1% in PassMark G3D (954 vs 945), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon 620 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2012. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon 620 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
