FirePro 3D V7750 vs GeForce GT 820M: 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 V7750

2014

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.7 vs 0 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 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

  • 2014 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 174% higher power demand at 274W vs 100W.

GeForce GT 820M

2014

Why buy it
