FirePro V5800 vs Radeon HD 5750: 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

  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 1 GB).
  • Draws 74W instead of 86W, a 12W 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.
  • 268.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $479 MSRPvs$130 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 2.5 vs 9.0 G3D/$ ($479 MSRP vs $130 MSRP).

Radeon HD 5750

2009

Why buy it

  • Costs $349 less on MSRP ($130 MSRP vs $479 MSRP).
  • Delivers 263.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.0 vs 2.5 G3D/$ ($130 MSRP vs $479 MSRP).

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.
  • 16.2% higher power demand at 86W vs 74W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
FirePro V5800 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1.3% in PassMark G3D (1,184 vs 1,169), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
FirePro V5800 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 4 GB vs 1 GB of VRAM and a newer 2010 generation instead of 2009. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon HD 5750 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $349 cheaper on MSRP at $130 vs $479, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 263.8% (9.0 vs 2.5), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 5750 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, FirePro V5800 has the stronger long-term case.
