GRID M60-1Q

2015

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 526.6% HIGHER MSRP
    $2,500 MSRPvs$399 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.5 vs 9.2 G3D/$ ($2,500 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • 350% higher power demand at 225W vs 50W.

Radeon Pro WX 4100

2016

Why buy it

  • Costs $2,101 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 524.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.2 vs 1.5 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).
  • Draws 50W instead of 225W, a 175W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2016 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
