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

GeForce2 MX/MX 400

2020

Why buy it

  • +33.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.0 vs 0 G3D/$ ($129 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • RADEON IGP 345M is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 25W instead of 35W, a 10W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2020 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

RADEON IGP 345M

2016

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (3 vs 4).
  • 2016 hardware with 512 MB 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 0.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $129 MSRP).
  • 40% higher power demand at 35W vs 25W.
