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

2021

Why buy it

  • +543.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 486.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 51.7 vs 8.8 G3D/$ ($329 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (12 GB vs 4 GB).
  • More future proof: Ampere on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 240% higher power demand at 170W vs 50W.

Radeon Pro WX 4150

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $29 less on MSRP ($300 MSRP vs $329 MSRP).
  • Draws 50W instead of 170W, a 120W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (2,642 vs 16,995).
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 12 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 8.8 vs 51.7 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $329 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 better than Radeon Pro WX 4150?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 16,995 vs 2,642 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3060 is a 2021 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Pro WX 4150 is a 2017 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2017, 543.3% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 4 GB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. 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 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 3060 is about 9.7% more expensive on MSRP at $329 MSRP versus $300 MSRP, and you are getting 543.3% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro WX 4150 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Radeon Pro WX 4150 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon Pro WX 4150 is 2017 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 2,642 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
