FirePro 3D V3700 vs Radeon HDG 4670: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

FirePro 3D V3700

2014

Why buy it

  • Measures 168mm instead of 193mm, a 25mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.
  • More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 256 MB vs 512 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2014 hardware with 256 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 47.8% HIGHER MSRP
    $99 MSRPvs$67 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.8 vs 2.5 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $67 MSRP).

Radeon HDG 4670

2010

Why buy it

  • Costs $32 less on MSRP ($67 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).
  • Delivers 40.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.5 vs 1.8 G3D/$ ($67 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 256 MB).

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 14.9% longer card at 193mm vs 168mm.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
FirePro 3D V3700 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 5.3% in PassMark G3D (179 vs 170), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
FirePro 3D V3700 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2014 generation instead of 2010. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon HDG 4670 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $32 cheaper on MSRP at $67 vs $99, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 40.3% (2.5 vs 1.8), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way.
