Radeon PRO V710

2024

Why buy it

✅56.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs Unknown).
✅More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 158W instead of 210W, a 52W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌
401.3% HIGHER MSRP
$2,000 MSRPvs$399 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 6.0 vs 30.3 G3D/$ ($2,000 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Radeon Pro Vega 56

2017

Why buy it

✅Costs $1,601 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $2,000 MSRP).
✅Delivers 405.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 30.3 vs 6.0 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $2,000 MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO V710 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon PRO V710 better than Radeon Pro Vega 56?

Yes. Radeon PRO V710 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon PRO V710 averages 56.4% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 12,000 vs 12,104 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon PRO V710 is a 2024 card with FSR upscaling, while Radeon Pro Vega 56 is a 2017 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 V710 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2017, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 5nm process instead of 14nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

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

Radeon PRO V710 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon PRO V710 is about 401.3% more expensive on MSRP at $2,000 MSRP versus $399 MSRP, and you are getting 56.4% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (12,000 vs 12,104). Radeon Pro Vega 56 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon Pro Vega 56 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon Pro Vega 56 is 2017 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 12,104 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
