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

GeForce GTX 460 768MB

Why buy it

✅Radeon Sky 500 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GTX 460 768MB is the less risky modern option long term.
✅Draws 75W instead of 150W, a 75W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Sky 500 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Older hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 9.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $500 MSRP).

Radeon Sky 500

2013

Why buy it

✅12.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($500 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2013 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌100% higher power demand at 150W vs 75W.
