Radeon Pro 5700

2020

Why buy it

✅Costs $4,900 less on MSRP ($799 MSRP vs $5,699 MSRP).
✅Delivers 592.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 14.4 vs 2.1 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs $5,699 MSRP).
✅More future proof: RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 130W instead of 250W, a 120W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 24 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Tesla P40

2016

Why buy it

✅200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (24 GB vs 8 GB).

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 24 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Quick Answers

So, is Tesla P40 better than Radeon Pro 5700?

Yes. Tesla P40 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 11,808 vs 11,469 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Tesla P40 is a 2016 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon Pro 5700 is a 2020 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 Pro 5700 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2016, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 7nm process instead of 16nm. 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?

Tesla P40 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Tesla P40 is about 613.3% more expensive on MSRP at $5,699 MSRP versus $799 MSRP, and you are getting 3.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro 5700 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Radeon Pro 5700 make more sense than Tesla P40?

Yes. Radeon Pro 5700 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (130W vs 250W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $799 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Tesla P40. The trade-off is that Tesla P40 currently gives you 3.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro 5700 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.

Games Benchmarks
