FirePro 3D V3800

2010

Why buy it

✅More future proof: TeraScale 2 (2009−2015) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2010 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌
92.5% HIGHER MSRP
$129 MSRPvs$67 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 3.7 vs 6.9 G3D/$ ($129 MSRP vs $67 MSRP).
❌146.7% higher power demand at 74W vs 30W.

Mobility Radeon HD 4670

2009

Why buy it

✅Costs $62 less on MSRP ($67 MSRP vs $129 MSRP).
✅Delivers 88.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.9 vs 3.7 G3D/$ ($67 MSRP vs $129 MSRP).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
✅Draws 30W instead of 74W, a 44W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌2009 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
