FirePro V5700 vs Mobility Radeon HD 4670: 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 V5700

2011

Why buy it

  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 1 GB).
  • More future proof: TeraScale 3 (2010−2013) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2011 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 794% HIGHER MSRP
    $599 MSRPvs$67 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.8 vs 6.9 G3D/$ ($599 MSRP vs $67 MSRP).
  • 400% higher power demand at 150W vs 30W.

Mobility Radeon HD 4670

2009

Why buy it

  • Costs $532 less on MSRP ($67 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).
  • Delivers 790.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.9 vs 0.8 G3D/$ ($67 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 150W, a 120W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 1 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2009 hardware with 1 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
FirePro V5700 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0.4% in PassMark G3D (465 vs 463), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
FirePro V5700 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 4 GB vs 1 GB of VRAM, a 40nm process instead of 55nm, and a newer 2011 generation instead of 2009. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Mobility Radeon HD 4670 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $532 cheaper on MSRP at $67 vs $599, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 790.2% (6.9 vs 0.8), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Mobility Radeon HD 4670 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, FirePro V5700 has the stronger long-term case.
