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

GeForce GTX 770M SLI

2013

Why buy it

✅56.1% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs 1 GB).
✅More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) 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.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 26.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $109 MSRP).
❌57.9% higher power demand at 150W vs 95W.

Radeon R7 260

2013

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 26.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($109 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 95W instead of 150W, a 55W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 770M SLI across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 1 GB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2013 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GTX 770M SLI is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 56.1% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon R7 260 instead at 2,892 vs 2,803, 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?

GeForce GTX 770M SLI is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 2 GB vs 1 GB of VRAM. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon R7 260 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, Radeon R7 260 is the easier value choice.
