Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The CMP 30HX is significantly newer (2021 vs 1999). The CMP 30HX likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Quadro lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Quadro is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2.2% higher G3D Mark score. This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the CMP 30HX.

Insight	CMP 30HX	Quadro
Performance	❌Lower raw frame rates (-2.2%)	✅Leading raw performance (+2.2%)
