GeForce GTX 880M SLI

2014

Why buy it

✅Draws 206W instead of 250W, a 44W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2014-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 9.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $450 MSRP).

Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U

2020

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($450 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Less risky long-term buy than GeForce GTX 880M SLI: it remains the more sensible modern option while GeForce GTX 880M SLI is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅More future proof: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
❌21.4% higher power demand at 250W vs 206W.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U better than GeForce GTX 880M SLI?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 4,225 vs 4,091 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is a 2020 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce GTX 880M SLI is a 2014 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 6800U is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2014, 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 6800U can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $450 MSRP. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $450 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 3.3% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $450 MSRP gets you newer hardware, and FSR upscaling.

Is GeForce GTX 880M SLI still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 880M SLI is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below an unclear MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and FSR upscaling.
