Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The GeForce 9300 SE is significantly newer (2015 vs 2008). The GeForce 9300 SE likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Quadro FX 360M lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Quadro FX 360M is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 6.1% higher G3D Mark score. However, the GeForce 9300 SE offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
