GeForce GTX 770M vs Radeon Pro 450: 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 770M

2013

Why buy it

  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (3 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro 450 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2013 hardware with 3 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 114.3% higher power demand at 75W vs 35W.

Radeon Pro 450

2016

Why buy it

  • 4.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Draws 35W instead of 75W, a 40W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 3 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2016 hardware with 2 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?
Radeon Pro 450 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 4.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 770M instead at 2,784 vs 2,723, 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 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 3 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon Pro 450 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 Pro 450 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GTX 770M has the stronger long-term case.
