GRID M6-0B vs Radeon HD 4770: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

GRID M6-0B

2015

Why buy it

  • Measures 1mm instead of 203mm, a 202mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.
  • More future proof: Maxwell 2.0 (2014−2019) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 1276.1% HIGHER MSRP
    $1,500 MSRPvs$109 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.6 vs 8.3 G3D/$ ($1,500 MSRP vs $109 MSRP).
  • 25% higher power demand at 100W vs 80W.

Radeon HD 4770

2009

Why buy it

  • Costs $1,391 less on MSRP ($109 MSRP vs $1,500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 1271.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 8.3 vs 0.6 G3D/$ ($109 MSRP vs $1,500 MSRP).
  • Draws 80W instead of 100W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2009 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 20200% longer card at 203mm vs 1mm.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GRID M6-0B is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0.3% in PassMark G3D (912 vs 909), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GRID M6-0B is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 28nm process instead of 40nm and a newer 2015 generation instead of 2009. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon HD 4770 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1,391 cheaper on MSRP at $109 vs $1,500, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 1271.6% (8.3 vs 0.6), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon HD 4770 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GRID M6-0B has the stronger long-term case.
