GeForce4 440 Go 64M vs MOBILITY/RADEON 9000: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

GeForce4 440 Go 64M

2012

Why buy it

  • +50% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • More future proof: Kepler (2012−2018) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2012 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 220% higher power demand at 32W vs 10W.

MOBILITY/RADEON 9000

2010

Why buy it

  • Draws 10W instead of 32W, a 22W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4 vs 6).
  • 2010 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
