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?
RADEON 9200 SE 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, a 4nm process instead of 12nm, and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2018. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
RADEON 9200 SE makes the most sense to buy today. It is $119 cheaper on MSRP at $30 vs $149, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 272.5% (0.1 vs 0.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GeForce3 Ti 200 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
