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

GeForce RTX 2070 (Mobile)

2025

Why buy it

✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
✅Better long-term bet: Blackwell (2024−2025) on 4nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
✅Draws 50W instead of 100W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Quadro P5200 Max-Q across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quadro P5200 Max-Q

2018

Why buy it

✅4.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
❌100% higher power demand at 100W vs 50W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Quadro P5200 Max-Q is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 4.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 2070 (Mobile) instead at 12,357 vs 12,308, 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?

GeForce RTX 2070 (Mobile) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 4nm process instead of 16nm, and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2018. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 2070 (Mobile) makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Quadro P5200 Max-Q still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
