Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The P106-090 is significantly newer (2017 vs 2010). The P106-090 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The FirePro 3D V8800 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The P106-090 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 1.1% higher G3D Mark score. This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the FirePro 3D V8800.
