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

  • 6.1% more average FPS across 27 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.0 vs 0 G3D/$ ($649 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • Poor future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • 614.3% higher power demand at 250W vs 35W.

Radeon RX 6300M

2022

Why buy it

  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • More future proof: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 6nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
  • Draws 35W instead of 250W, a 215W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 across 27 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 10.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $649 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 better than Radeon RX 6300M?
Yes. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 averages 6.1% more FPS across 27 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 6,500 vs 6,421 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 is a 2013 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon RX 6300M is a 2022 model from an older generation with FSR 3 + AFMF. 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 RX 6300M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2013, better upscaling support with FSR 3 (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 6nm 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?
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 priced in an unclear MSRP range at $649 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 6.1% more estimated average FPS across 27 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.2% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 6300M is the newer 2022 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (35W vs 250W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon RX 6300M make more sense than GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2?
Yes. Radeon RX 6300M 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 (35W vs 250W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear 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 1.2% higher G3D Mark and 6.1% more estimated average FPS across 27 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 6300M is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 6300M relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
