FirePro 3D V5700

2014

Why buy it

✅More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2014 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌
658.2% HIGHER MSRP
$599 MSRPvs$79 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.9 vs 7.0 G3D/$ ($599 MSRP vs $79 MSRP).

Radeon HD 6570

2010

Why buy it

✅Costs $520 less on MSRP ($79 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).
✅Delivers 670.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 7.0 vs 0.9 G3D/$ ($79 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
✅Measures 168mm instead of 170mm, a 2mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌2010 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon HD 6570 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1.6% in PassMark G3D (556 vs 547), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

FirePro 3D V5700 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 HD 6570 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $520 cheaper on MSRP at $79 vs $599, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 670.7% (7.0 vs 0.9), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
