About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon 3020e is significantly newer (2019 vs 2010). The Radeon 3020e likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce GTS 150M lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon 3020e is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.2% higher G3D Mark score. However, the GeForce GTS 150M offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
