FirePro W7170M vs Quadro P620: 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 W7170M

2015

Why buy it

✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

❌2015 hardware with 4 GB 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 21.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $170 MSRP).
❌150% higher power demand at 100W vs 40W.

Quadro P620

2018

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($170 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅FirePro W7170M is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro P620 is the less risky modern option long term.
✅Draws 40W instead of 100W, a 60W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2018 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
