About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce GTX 760 Ti

2013

Why buy it

  • 1.0% more average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $351 less on MSRP ($249 MSRP vs $600 MSRP).
  • Delivers 149.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.3 vs 8.5 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs $600 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • 233.3% higher power demand at 250W vs 75W.

Radeon R9 M395X

2015

Why buy it

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 760 Ti better than Radeon R9 M395X?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. GeForce GTX 760 Ti averages 1.0% more FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 5,307 vs 5,120 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce GTX 760 Ti is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 760 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce GTX 760 Ti can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $249 MSRP. GeForce GTX 760 Ti is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce GTX 760 Ti is about $351 cheaper on MSRP at $249 MSRP versus $600 MSRP, and you are getting 1.0% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.7% higher G3D Mark. Radeon R9 M395X is the newer 2015 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and lower power draw (75W vs 250W) than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon R9 M395X make more sense than GeForce GTX 760 Ti?
Yes. Radeon R9 M395X is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (75W vs 250W), and staying closer to $600 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 760 Ti. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 760 Ti currently gives you 3.7% higher G3D Mark and 1.0% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 149.8%.
