  • 66.7% higher power demand at 300W vs 180W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Pro V620 MxGPU is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 7.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.2% in PassMark G3D (15,633 vs 15,609), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon Pro V620 MxGPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 32 GB vs 8 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 14nm process instead of 16nm, and a newer 2018 generation instead of 2016. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 1080 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, GeForce GTX 1080 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Radeon Pro V620 MxGPU has the stronger long-term case.
