  • Costs $50 less on MSRP ($379 MSRP vs $429 MSRP).
  • Delivers 15% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 35.6 vs 31.0 G3D/$ ($379 MSRP vs $429 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO W7500 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2016 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 114.3% higher power demand at 150W vs 70W.
  • 23.6% longer card at 267mm vs 216mm.

Radeon PRO W7500

2023

Why buy it

  • 7.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 6nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 70W instead of 150W, a 80W reduction.
  • Measures 216mm instead of 267mm, a 51mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon PRO W7500 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 7.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 1070 instead at 13,507 vs 13,298, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon PRO W7500 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 6nm process instead of 16nm, 28 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 1070 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $50 cheaper on MSRP at $379 vs $429, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 15% (35.6 vs 31.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, GeForce GTX 1070 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Radeon PRO W7500 has the stronger long-term case.
