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).
✅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.
✅Draws 75W instead of 100W, a 25W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌24900% longer card at 250mm vs 1mm.

Radeon RX Vega M GH

2018

Why buy it

✅Measures 1mm instead of 250mm, a 249mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.
✅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 29.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $224 MSRP).
❌33.3% higher power demand at 100W vs 75W.

Quick Answers

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

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 6,628 vs 6,548 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer P106-100 is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (75W vs 100W).

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

P106-100 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?

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 1.2% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX Vega M GH is the newer 2018 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

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

Yes. Radeon RX Vega M GH is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture 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 1.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
