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.
  • 99% HIGHER MSRP
    $199 MSRPvs$100 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.7 vs 3.5 G3D/$ ($199 MSRP vs $100 MSRP).
  • 448% higher power demand at 274W vs 50W.

Radeon R4

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $99 less on MSRP ($100 MSRP vs $199 MSRP).
  • Delivers 101.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 3.5 vs 1.7 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs $199 MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (512 MB vs 256 MB).
  • Draws 50W instead of 274W, a 224W reduction.

Trade-offs
