See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce 930MX

2016

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 16.0 vs 0 G3D/$ ($80 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 17W instead of 100W, a 83W reduction.
✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Quadro 4000M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2016 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quadro 4000M

2011

Why buy it

✅46.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

❌2011 hardware with 2 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 16.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $80 MSRP).
❌488.2% higher power demand at 100W vs 17W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Quadro 4000M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 46.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.7% in PassMark G3D (1,287 vs 1,278), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce 930MX is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2016 generation instead of 2011. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce 930MX makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Quadro 4000M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
