FirePro 3D V8800 vs Moore Threads MTT S80: 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 V8800

2010

Why buy it

  • Draws 74W instead of 255W, a 181W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 476.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $1,499 MSRPvs$260 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.6 vs 9.7 G3D/$ ($1,499 MSRP vs $260 MSRP).

Moore Threads MTT S80

Why buy it

  • Costs $1,239 less on MSRP ($260 MSRP vs $1,499 MSRP).
  • Delivers 494.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.7 vs 1.6 G3D/$ ($260 MSRP vs $1,499 MSRP).
  • FirePro 3D V8800 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Moore Threads MTT S80 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 244.6% higher power demand at 255W vs 74W.
