GeForce GTX 760 vs Radeon Pro Vega 16: 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 760

2013

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 19.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs Unknown).
  • Radeon Pro Vega 16 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GTX 760 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro Vega 16 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2013 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 126.7% higher power demand at 170W vs 75W.

Radeon Pro Vega 16

2018

Why buy it

  • 5.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Draws 75W instead of 170W, a 95W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 5.0 (2017−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
