Radeon RX 460 (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

✅Costs $351 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $450 MSRP).
✅Delivers 341.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 41.4 vs 9.4 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $450 MSRP).
✅Draws 55W instead of 250W, a 195W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.

Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U

2020

Why buy it

✅100.3% more average FPS across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon RX 460 (móvel): it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon RX 460 (móvel) 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.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U better than Radeon RX 460 (móvel)?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U averages 100.3% more FPS across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 4,225 vs 4,100 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is a 2020 card with FSR upscaling, while Radeon RX 460 (móvel) is a 2016 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 Ryzen 7 6800U is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2016, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 7nm process instead of 14nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is about 354.5% more expensive on MSRP at $450 MSRP versus $99 MSRP, and you are getting 100.3% more estimated average FPS across 48 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 460 (móvel) really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX 460 (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 460 (móvel) is 2016 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 4,100 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
