FirePro V3800 vs RADEON HD6370D: 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 V3800

2010

Why buy it

  • 700% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Draws 74W instead of 250W, a 176W reduction.
  • More future proof: TeraScale 2 (2009−2015) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 158% HIGHER MSRP
    $129 MSRPvs$50 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 2.5 vs 6.4 G3D/$ ($129 MSRP vs $50 MSRP).

RADEON HD6370D

2010

Why buy it

  • Costs $79 less on MSRP ($50 MSRP vs $129 MSRP).
  • Delivers 157.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.4 vs 2.5 G3D/$ ($50 MSRP vs $129 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2010 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
