GeForce GTX 950M

2015

Why buy it

✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-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 8.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
❌74.4% higher power demand at 75W vs 43W.

Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G

2025

Why buy it

✅86.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 8.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 6nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 43W instead of 75W, a 32W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G better than GeForce GTX 950M?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G averages 86.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 2,553 vs 2,575 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is a 2025 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce GTX 950M is a 2015 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?

Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2015, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 6nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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

Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $299 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 86.5% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (2,553 vs 2,575). It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is GeForce GTX 950M still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 950M is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
