Arc Graphics 130T vs Quadro P3000 Performance Spectrum

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.

Arc Graphics 130T vs Quadro P3000: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Arc Graphics 130T

2025

Why buy it

  • Costs $300 less on MSRP ($300 MSRP vs $600 MSRP).
  • Delivers 94.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 20.7 vs 10.6 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $600 MSRP).
  • Quadro P3000 is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so Arc Graphics 130T is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 15W instead of 250W, a 235W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Older hardware, Unknown of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.

Quadro P3000

2016

Why buy it

  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs Unknown).
  • More future proof: Pascal (2016−2021) on 16nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2016 hardware with 6 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 100% HIGHER MSRP
    $600 MSRPvs$300 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 10.6 vs 20.7 G3D/$ ($600 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
