🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon Vega 11 is significantly newer (2018 vs 2010). The Radeon Vega 11 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce GTX 645 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The GeForce GTX 645 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 1% higher G3D Mark score and 100+% more VRAM (1 GB vs 0 MB). This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the Radeon Vega 11.
