Mobility Radeon HD 4850

2009

Why buy it

✅Costs $41 less on MSRP ($199 MSRP vs $240 MSRP).
✅Delivers 22.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 4.4 vs 3.5 G3D/$ ($199 MSRP vs $240 MSRP).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
✅Draws 30W instead of 45W, a 15W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2009-era hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.

Radeon E6760

2011

Why buy it

✅More future proof: TeraScale 2 (2009−2015) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is Mobility Radeon HD 4850 better than Radeon E6760?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 866 vs 850 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Mobility Radeon HD 4850 is the overall package: you are getting FSR upscaling, plus much lower power draw (30W vs 45W).

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

Mobility Radeon HD 4850 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting more VRAM at 1 GB instead of 512 MB. 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?

Mobility Radeon HD 4850 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $199 MSRP. Mobility Radeon HD 4850 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Mobility Radeon HD 4850 is about $41 cheaper on MSRP at $199 MSRP versus $240 MSRP, and you are getting 1.9% higher G3D Mark. Radeon E6760 is the newer 2011 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon E6760 make more sense than Mobility Radeon HD 4850?

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 newer architecture and staying closer to $240 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Mobility Radeon HD 4850. The trade-off is that Mobility Radeon HD 4850 currently gives you 1.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 22.9%.
