About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

FirePro D300 vs GeForce MX570: 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 D300

2014

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • 2014 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 233.3% HIGHER MSRP
    $500 MSRPvs$150 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 11.4 vs 38.3 G3D/$ ($500 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • 500% higher power demand at 150W vs 25W.

GeForce MX570

2022

Why buy it

  • Costs $350 less on MSRP ($150 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 234.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 38.3 vs 11.4 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 25W instead of 150W, a 125W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce MX570 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0.3% in PassMark G3D (5,738 vs 5,722), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce MX570 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 8nm process instead of 28nm, 16 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2014. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce MX570 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $350 cheaper on MSRP at $150 vs $500, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 234.3% (38.3 vs 11.4), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
