GeForce GTX 680M KY_Bullet Edition vs Radeon Pro 560X: 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 680M KY_Bullet Edition

2013

Why buy it

✅3.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

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.
❌62.7% higher power demand at 122W vs 75W.

Radeon Pro 560X

2018

Why buy it

✅GeForce GTX 680M KY_Bullet Edition is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon Pro 560X is the less risky modern option long term.
✅Draws 75W instead of 122W, a 47W reduction.
✅More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 680M KY_Bullet Edition across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2018 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GTX 680M KY_Bullet Edition is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 3.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon Pro 560X instead at 3,678 vs 3,569, 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?

Radeon Pro 560X 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 14nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2018 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon Pro 560X makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce GTX 680M KY_Bullet Edition still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
