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 V5800 vs Firepro W4190M: 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 V5800

2010

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($479 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 700% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 512 MB).

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.
  • 146.7% higher power demand at 74W vs 30W.

Firepro W4190M

2015

Why buy it

  • Draws 30W instead of 74W, a 44W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2015 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $479 MSRP).
