FirePro 3D V3750 vs Radeon 3015e: 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 V3750

2014

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

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.
  • 306.1% HIGHER MSRP
    $199 MSRPvs$49 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.7 vs 7.2 G3D/$ ($199 MSRP vs $49 MSRP).
  • 448% higher power demand at 274W vs 50W.

Radeon 3015e

2019

Why buy it

  • Costs $150 less on MSRP ($49 MSRP vs $199 MSRP).
  • Delivers 318% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 7.2 vs 1.7 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs $199 MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 256 MB).
  • FirePro 3D V3750 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon 3015e is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 50W instead of 274W, a 224W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2019 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon 3015e is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 2.9% in PassMark G3D (351 vs 341), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon 3015e is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 512 MB vs 256 MB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 14nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2014. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon 3015e makes the most sense to buy today. It is $150 cheaper on MSRP at $49 vs $199, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 318% (7.2 vs 1.7), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
