About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce GTX 770

2013

Why buy it

  • Costs $201 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $600 MSRP).
  • Delivers 49.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 14.9 vs 10.0 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $600 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS across 21 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • 130% higher power demand at 230W vs 100W.

Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS

2022

Why buy it

  • 47.0% more average FPS across 21 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • More future proof: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
  • Draws 100W instead of 230W, a 130W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 50.4% HIGHER MSRP
    $600 MSRPvs$399 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 10.0 vs 14.9 G3D/$ ($600 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS better than GeForce GTX 770?
Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS averages 47.0% more FPS across 21 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 6,012 vs 5,961 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is a 2022 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce GTX 770 is a 2013 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 6800HS is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2013, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 7nm 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 6800HS is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is about 50.4% more expensive on MSRP at $600 MSRP versus $399 MSRP, and you are getting 47.0% more estimated average FPS across 21 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.9% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 770 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is GeForce GTX 770 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. GeForce GTX 770 is 2013 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 5,961 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
