Radeon RX 470 (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

✅Costs $2,821 less on MSRP ($179 MSRP vs $3,000 MSRP).
✅Delivers 1575.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 39.1 vs 2.3 G3D/$ ($179 MSRP vs $3,000 MSRP).
✅Draws 85W instead of 300W, a 215W reduction.
✅Measures 1mm instead of 267mm, a 266mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Tesla M60

2015

Why buy it

✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Quick Answers

So, is Tesla M60 better than Radeon RX 470 (móvel)?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 7,000 vs 7,002 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Tesla M60 is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

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

Radeon RX 470 (móvel) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2016 generation instead of 2015, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 14nm process instead of 28nm. 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?

Tesla M60 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Tesla M60 is about 1576.0% more expensive on MSRP at $3,000 MSRP versus $179 MSRP, and you are getting 0.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Radeon RX 470 (móvel) make more sense than Tesla M60?

Yes. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) 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 (85W vs 300W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $179 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Tesla M60. The trade-off is that Tesla M60 currently gives you 0.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 470 (móvel) still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.

Games Benchmarks
