GeForce GTX 460 OEM vs Radeon 860M: 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 GTX 460 OEM

2010

Why buy it

✅34.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

❌2010 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌900% higher power demand at 150W vs 15W.

Radeon 860M

2025

Why buy it

✅Better long-term bet: RDNA 3.5 (2024−2025) on 4nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
✅Draws 15W instead of 150W, a 135W reduction.
✅More future proof: RDNA 3.5 (2024−2025) on 4nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 460 OEM across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GTX 460 OEM is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 34.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.3% in PassMark G3D (5,000 vs 4,838), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon 860M 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 4nm process instead of 40nm, 8 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2010. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce GTX 460 OEM 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, GeForce GTX 460 OEM is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Radeon 860M has the stronger long-term case.
