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

GeForce GT 740A

2014

Why buy it

✅Costs $10 less on MSRP ($89 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).
✅Draws 64W instead of 250W, a 186W reduction.
✅More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon HD 6670 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2014 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon HD 6670 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 95.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.1% in PassMark G3D (725 vs 710), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce GT 740A is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2014 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 740A makes the most sense to buy today. It is $10 cheaper on MSRP at $89 vs $99, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 8.9% (8.0 vs 7.3), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon HD 6670 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
