Quadro P600

2017

Why buy it

✅68.8% more average FPS across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅More future proof: Pascal (2016−2021) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2017-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 13.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $250 MSRP).

Radeon E8870PCIe

2014

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 13.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($250 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is Quadro P600 better than Radeon E8870PCIe?

Yes. Quadro P600 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 68.8% more average FPS across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.5% higher PassMark G3D performance. It also comes from 2017 instead of 2014, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

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

Quadro P600 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2017 generation instead of 2014, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 14nm 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?

Quadro P600 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Quadro P600 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $250 MSRP, and you are getting 68.8% more estimated average FPS across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (3,318 vs 3,368). Radeon E8870PCIe really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon E8870PCIe still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon E8870PCIe is 2014 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 3,368 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
