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.

Arc B570

2025

Why buy it

  • 8.9% more average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $6,781 less on MSRP ($219 MSRP vs $7,000 MSRP).
  • Delivers 3177.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 64.2 vs 2.0 G3D/$ ($219 MSRP vs $7,000 MSRP).
  • More future proof: Xe2 (2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
  • Draws 150W instead of 235W, a 85W reduction.

Trade-offs

Quick Answers

So, is Arc B570 better than Quadro GP100?
Yes. Arc B570 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Arc B570 averages 8.9% more FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,060 vs 13,710 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Arc B570 is a 2025 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Quadro GP100 is a 2016 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?
Arc B570 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2016, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 5nm process instead of 16nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
Arc B570 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Arc B570 is about $6,781 cheaper on MSRP at $219 MSRP versus $7,000 MSRP, and you are getting 8.9% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.6% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 3177.9%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Quadro GP100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Quadro GP100 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $7,000 MSRP, even if Arc B570 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
