About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

  • 636.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 245.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 14.8 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 344.4% higher power demand at 200W vs 45W.

Quadro K620

2014

Why buy it

  • Costs $249 less on MSRP ($150 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Draws 45W instead of 200W, a 155W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2014-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 14.8 vs 50.9 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 Ti better than Quadro K620?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti averages 636.9% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 20,312 vs 2,213 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro K620 is a 2014 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2014, 817.8% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is about 166.0% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 636.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 817.8% higher G3D Mark. Quadro K620 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Quadro K620 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Quadro K620 is 2014 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 2,213 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
