P106-100

2017

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 29.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($224 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌114.3% higher power demand at 75W 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 75W, a 40W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 29.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $224 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is P106-100 better than Radeon RX 6300M?

Yes. P106-100 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 6,628 vs 6,421 in G3D Mark. On top of that, P106-100 is a 2017 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 2017, 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 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?

P106-100 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $224 MSRP. P106-100 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. P106-100 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $224 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 3.2% 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 75W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon RX 6300M make more sense than P106-100?

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 75W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of P106-100. The trade-off is that P106-100 currently gives you 3.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
