About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2

2013

Why buy it

  • Costs $351 less on MSRP ($649 MSRP vs $1,000 MSRP).
  • Delivers 56.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.0 vs 6.4 G3D/$ ($649 MSRP vs $1,000 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Poor future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • 92.3% higher power demand at 250W vs 130W.

Radeon Pro WX 7130

2016

Why buy it

  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
  • Draws 130W instead of 250W, a 120W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 better than Radeon Pro WX 7130?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 6,500 vs 6,406 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. 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?
GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $649 MSRP. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 is about $351 cheaper on MSRP at $649 MSRP versus $1,000 MSRP, and you are getting 1.5% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro WX 7130 is the newer 2016 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and lower power draw (130W vs 250W) than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon Pro WX 7130 make more sense than GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2?
Yes. Radeon Pro WX 7130 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), and staying closer to $1,000 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 currently gives you 1.5% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 56.3%.
