Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Firepro W4190M is significantly newer (2015 vs 2008). The Firepro W4190M likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The FireStream 9250 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Firepro W4190M is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.3% higher G3D Mark score. However, the FireStream 9250 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
