GeForce GTS 150M vs Radeon HD 7660D: 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 GTS 150M

2010

Why buy it

  • 12.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 1 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 4.2 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $122 MSRP).
  • 135.6% higher power demand at 106W vs 45W.

Radeon HD 7660D

2012

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 4.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($122 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 45W instead of 106W, a 61W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTS 150M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2012 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?
GeForce GTS 150M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 12.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon HD 7660D instead at 512 vs 504, 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 GTS 150M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 1 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM. 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 GTS 150M has the stronger long-term case.
