GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2

2013

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.0 vs 0 G3D/$ ($649 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs Unknown).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon RX Vega M GH: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon RX Vega M GH is already obsolete for modern gaming.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌150% higher power demand at 250W vs 100W.

Radeon RX Vega M GH

2018

Why buy it

✅Draws 100W instead of 250W, a 150W reduction.
✅More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 10.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $649 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX Vega M GH better than GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 6,500 vs 6,548 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon RX Vega M GH is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, FSR upscaling, plus much lower power draw (100W vs 250W).

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 more VRAM at 4 GB instead of Unknown and the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. 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?

Radeon RX Vega M GH is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon RX Vega M GH is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $649 MSRP, and you are getting 0.7% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 make more sense than Radeon RX Vega M GH?

Yes. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 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 future-proofing and staying closer to $649 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon RX Vega M GH. The trade-off is that Radeon RX Vega M GH currently gives you 0.7% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 780 Rev. 2 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
