GeForce MX330 vs Radeon Pro: 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 MX330

2020

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 15.7 vs 0 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 10W instead of 250W, a 240W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2020 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Radeon Pro

2020

Why buy it

  • 103.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • GeForce MX330 is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so Radeon Pro is the less risky modern option long term.
  • More future proof: GCN 5.1 (2018−2022) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 15.7 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • 2400% higher power demand at 250W vs 10W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Pro is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 103.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.7% in PassMark G3D (2,366 vs 2,350), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon Pro 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 and a 7nm process instead of 14nm. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce MX330 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, GeForce MX330 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Radeon Pro has the stronger long-term case.
