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

GeForce3 Ti 200

2018

Why buy it

  • +33.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • 693.7% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 65 MB).
  • MOBILITY RADEON 9200 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce3 Ti 200 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • 2018 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 204.1% HIGHER MSRP
    $149 MSRPvs$49 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.0 vs 0.1 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $49 MSRP).
  • 330% higher power demand at 215W vs 50W.
  • 18200% longer card at 183mm vs 1mm.

MOBILITY RADEON 9200

2010

Why buy it

  • Costs $100 less on MSRP ($49 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • Delivers 128.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.1 vs 0.0 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • Draws 50W instead of 215W, a 165W reduction.
  • Measures 1mm instead of 183mm, a 182mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce3 Ti 200 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 33.3% in PassMark G3D (4 vs 3), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce3 Ti 200 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 512 MB vs 65 MB of VRAM, a 12nm process instead of 40nm, 46 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2018 generation instead of 2010. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
MOBILITY RADEON 9200 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $100 cheaper on MSRP at $49 vs $149, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 128.1% (0.1 vs 0.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, MOBILITY RADEON 9200 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce3 Ti 200 has the stronger long-term case.
