Quadro P620

2018

Why buy it

✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon RX 560: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon RX 560 is already legacy-tier future-proofing.
✅Draws 40W instead of 75W, a 35W reduction.
✅Measures 145mm instead of 170mm, a 25mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌Poor future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌
71.7% HIGHER MSRP
$170 MSRPvs$99 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 21.8 vs 37.2 G3D/$ ($170 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).

Radeon RX 560

2017

Why buy it

✅Costs $71 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $170 MSRP).
✅Delivers 71% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 37.2 vs 21.8 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $170 MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌87.5% higher power demand at 75W vs 40W.
❌17.2% longer card at 170mm vs 145mm.

Quick Answers

So, is Quadro P620 better than Radeon RX 560?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 3,698 vs 3,682 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Quadro P620 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (40W vs 75W).

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

Quadro P620 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2018 generation instead of 2017 and the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. 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 P620 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Quadro P620 is about 71.7% more expensive on MSRP at $170 MSRP versus $99 MSRP, and you are getting 0.4% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 560 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon RX 560 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon RX 560 is 2017 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 3,682 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
