GeForce MX450

2020

Why buy it

✅Less risky long-term buy than Quadro P620: it remains the more sensible modern option while Quadro P620 is already legacy-tier future-proofing.
✅Draws 25W instead of 40W, a 15W reduction.
✅More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm 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.
❌
47.1% HIGHER MSRP
$250 MSRPvs$170 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 14.9 vs 21.8 G3D/$ ($250 MSRP vs $170 MSRP).

Quadro P620

2018

Why buy it

✅Costs $80 less on MSRP ($170 MSRP vs $250 MSRP).
✅Delivers 46.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.8 vs 14.9 G3D/$ ($170 MSRP vs $250 MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌60% higher power demand at 40W vs 25W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce MX450 better than Quadro P620?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 3,720 vs 3,698 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce MX450 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (25W vs 40W).

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

GeForce MX450 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2018 and a 12nm 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?

GeForce MX450 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce MX450 is about 47.1% more expensive on MSRP at $250 MSRP versus $170 MSRP, and you are getting 0.6% higher G3D Mark. Quadro P620 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Quadro P620 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Quadro P620 is 2018 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 3,698 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
