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

GeForce GTS 360M

2012

Why buy it

✅More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon HD 7610M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2012 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌125% higher power demand at 45W vs 20W.

Radeon HD 7610M

2011

Why buy it

✅1.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Draws 20W instead of 45W, a 25W reduction.

❌2011 hardware with 1 GB 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 7610M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 1.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTS 360M instead at 641 vs 632, 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 360M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2012 generation instead of 2011. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce GTS 360M makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Radeon HD 7610M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
