FirePro 3D V3800 vs Radeon HD 7670M: 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 V3800

2010

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 3.7 vs 0 G3D/$ ($129 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 74W instead of 100W, a 26W reduction.

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.

Radeon HD 7670M

2012

Why buy it

  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
  • More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2012 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 3.7 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $129 MSRP).
  • 35.1% higher power demand at 100W vs 74W.
