GeForce 940M

2015

Why buy it

✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs Unknown).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C 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 7.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
❌120% higher power demand at 33W vs 15W.

Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C

2020

Why buy it

✅46.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 7.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 15W instead of 33W, a 18W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2020-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C better than GeForce 940M?

Yes. Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 46.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.9% higher PassMark G3D performance. It also comes from 2020 instead of 2015, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

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

GeForce 940M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting more VRAM at 2 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?

Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $150 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 46.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. GeForce 940M 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 GeForce 940M make more sense than Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C?

Yes. GeForce 940M 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 an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C. The trade-off is that Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C currently gives you 2.9% higher G3D Mark and 46.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
