GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs Mobility Radeon 4100: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

  • +24976.5% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 2979.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 1.7 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $49 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 1500% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 566.7% higher power demand at 200W vs 30W.

Mobility Radeon 4100

2009

Why buy it

  • Costs $350 less on MSRP ($49 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 200W, a 170W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (81 vs 20,312).
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • 2009 hardware with 512 MB 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 1.7 vs 50.9 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 24976.5% in PassMark G3D (20,312 vs 81), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, a 8nm process instead of 55nm, 38 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2009. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $350 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $49, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 2979.6% (50.9 vs 1.7), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
