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.

CMP 30HX vs GeForce GTX 760: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

CMP 30HX

2021

Why buy it

  • ✅GeForce GTX 760 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so CMP 30HX is the less risky modern option long term.
  • ✅Draws 125W instead of 170W, a 45W reduction.
  • ✅Measures 229mm instead of 241mm, a 12mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • ❌Older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • ❌
    220.9% HIGHER MSRP
    $799 MSRPvs$249 MSRP
  • ❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 6.1 vs 19.3 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).

GeForce GTX 760

2013

Why buy it

  • ✅Costs $550 less on MSRP ($249 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • ✅Delivers 215.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 19.3 vs 6.1 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • ✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • ❌2013 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • ❌36% higher power demand at 170W vs 125W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
CMP 30HX is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1.6% in PassMark G3D (4,892 vs 4,813), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
CMP 30HX is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 12nm process instead of 28nm and a newer 2021 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 760 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $550 cheaper on MSRP at $249 vs $799, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 215.7% (19.3 vs 6.1), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce GTX 760 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, CMP 30HX has the stronger long-term case.
