HD Graphics 520

2015

Why buy it

✅Costs $140 less on MSRP ($100 MSRP vs $240 MSRP).
✅Delivers 143.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 8.6 vs 3.5 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs $240 MSRP).
✅Draws 15W instead of 45W, a 30W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.

Radeon E6760

2011

Why buy it

✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs Unknown).
✅Less risky long-term buy than HD Graphics 520: it remains the more sensible modern option while HD Graphics 520 is already obsolete for modern gaming.

Quick Answers

So, is HD Graphics 520 better than Radeon E6760?

Yes. HD Graphics 520 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 861 vs 850 in G3D Mark. On top of that, HD Graphics 520 is a 2015 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon E6760 is a 2011 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?

Radeon E6760 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting more VRAM at 512 MB instead of Unknown and better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?

HD Graphics 520 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $100 MSRP. HD Graphics 520 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. HD Graphics 520 is about $140 cheaper on MSRP at $100 MSRP versus $240 MSRP, and you are getting 1.3% higher G3D Mark. Radeon E6760 is the more forward-looking alternative, so it still has a real case if you care more about future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon E6760 make more sense than HD Graphics 520?

Yes. Radeon E6760 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is future-proofing and staying closer to $240 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of HD Graphics 520. The trade-off is that HD Graphics 520 currently gives you 1.3% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 143.1%.
