You cant compared to the 400 series that is more powerful than 600 series 400 series is for the entry level so its lowend The 600 series is for budget midrange so they are different in terms of performance

Samuel28, SD 685 is also low end as well, don't be fooled by it's number 6 at the start of it's numerical name. It's much weaker than 4 Gen 2, and funny thing is that 4 Gen 1 is actually much more powerful in gaming than 4 Gen 2. 😭
