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.

Quadro P4000 (móvel)

2017

Why buy it

  • 43.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($819 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • 566.7% higher power demand at 100W vs 15W.

RadeonT 780M

2024

Why buy it

  • More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 4nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is Quadro P4000 (móvel) better than RadeonT 780M?
Yes. Quadro P4000 (móvel) is clearly the better overall GPU here. Quadro P4000 (móvel) averages 43.7% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 7,500 vs 7,098 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Quadro P4000 (móvel) is a 2017 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while RadeonT 780M is a 2024 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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?
RadeonT 780M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2017, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 4nm 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?
Quadro P4000 (móvel) is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Quadro P4000 (móvel) is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $819 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 43.7% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 5.7% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. RadeonT 780M is the newer 2024 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 100W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does RadeonT 780M make more sense than Quadro P4000 (móvel)?
Yes. RadeonT 780M 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 (15W vs 100W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Quadro P4000 (móvel). The trade-off is that Quadro P4000 (móvel) currently gives you 5.7% higher G3D Mark and 43.7% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
