Radeon 625

2019

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon HD 8750M: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon HD 8750M is already obsolete for modern gaming.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2019-era hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Radeon HD 8750M

2013

Why buy it

✅300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs 512 MB).

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 10.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $100 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon 625 better than Radeon HD 8750M?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 1,077 vs 1,052 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon 625 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, FSR upscaling.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon 625 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon 625 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $100 MSRP. Radeon 625 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon 625 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $100 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 2.4% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $100 MSRP gets you newer hardware, and FSR upscaling.

Is Radeon HD 8750M still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon HD 8750M is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below an unclear MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. Radeon 625 is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and FSR upscaling.
