NVS 810

2015

Why buy it

  • Draws 68W instead of 115W, a 47W reduction.
  • Measures 198mm instead of 240mm, a 42mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (1,192 vs 19,548).
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 2015 hardware with 4 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 RTX 4060 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1539.9% in PassMark G3D (19,548 vs 1,192), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while NVS 810 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 28nm, and 24 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $401 cheaper on MSRP at $299 vs $700, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 3739.3% (65.4 vs 1.7), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4060 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The NVS 810 does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The NVS 810 leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
