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 RTX 3070

2020

Why buy it

  • +10.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 12 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • Weaker long-term outlook: Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB is the safer future-proof pick thanks to newer hardware and better gaming feature support.
  • 72.7% HIGHER MSRP
    $499 MSRPvs$289 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 44.4 vs 69.5 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $289 MSRP).

Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB

2023

Why buy it

  • Costs $210 less on MSRP ($289 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 22,172 vs 20,096 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce RTX 3070 is the overall package: you are getting DLSS Super Resolution.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 8 GB, better upscaling support with FSR 3 (2023) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of DLSS Super Resolution, and a 7nm process instead of 8nm. 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?
GeForce RTX 3070 is about 72.7% more expensive on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $289 MSRP, and you are getting 10.3% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 3070 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.
When does Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB make more sense than GeForce RTX 3070?
Yes. Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is excellent for 1080p, very strong for 1440p, and still capable at 4K with sensible settings or upscaling. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, future-proofing, and staying closer to $289 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 3070. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 3070 currently gives you 10.3% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB 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 RTX 3070 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 3070 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
