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

GeForce GT 745M

2013

Why buy it

✅300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs 512 MB).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than RadeonT 610M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2013 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌200% higher power demand at 45W vs 15W.

RadeonT 610M

2023

Why buy it

✅47.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Better long-term bet: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
✅Draws 15W instead of 45W, a 30W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

RadeonT 610M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 47.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GT 745M instead at 1,081 vs 1,068, 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?

RadeonT 610M 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, a 5nm process instead of 28nm, 2 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2013. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

RadeonT 610M makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
