About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Intel UHD Graphics 630 is significantly newer (2017 vs 2011). The Intel UHD Graphics 630 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The FirePro V5900 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The FirePro V5900 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.1% higher G3D Mark score and 100+% more VRAM (2 GB vs 0 MB). This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the Intel UHD Graphics 630.
