GeForce GTX 645

2010

Why buy it

✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs Unknown).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE is already obsolete for modern gaming.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2010-era hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌
51.5% HIGHER MSRP
$150 MSRPvs$99 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 12.5 vs 18.9 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).
❌1233.3% higher power demand at 200W vs 15W.

Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE

2017

Why buy it

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 645 better than Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE?

Yes. GeForce GTX 645 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 1,880 vs 1,872 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 645 is a 2010 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE is a 2017 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

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

GeForce GTX 645 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting more VRAM at 1 GB instead of Unknown and the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

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

GeForce GTX 645 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce GTX 645 is about 51.5% more expensive on MSRP at $150 MSRP versus $99 MSRP, and you are getting 0.4% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE make more sense than GeForce GTX 645?

Yes. Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 200W), and staying closer to $99 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 645. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 645 currently gives you 0.4% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Vega 8 Ryzen 3 3200GE still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
