About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon Vega 11 uses modern memory architecture. The Radeon Vega 11 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce MX130 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon Vega 11 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 3.1% higher G3D Mark score. However, the GeForce MX130 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
