GRID P40-24Q vs Radeon Pro 5300: 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 P40-24Q

2015

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 1799.7% HIGHER MSRP
    $5,699 MSRPvs$300 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.2 vs 23.8 G3D/$ ($5,699 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
  • 164.7% higher power demand at 225W vs 85W.

Radeon Pro 5300

2020

Why buy it

  • Costs $5,399 less on MSRP ($300 MSRP vs $5,699 MSRP).
  • Delivers 1818% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 23.8 vs 1.2 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $5,699 MSRP).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) on 7nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 85W instead of 225W, a 140W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Pro 5300 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1% in PassMark G3D (7,125 vs 7,057), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon Pro 5300 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 7nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2015. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon Pro 5300 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $5,399 cheaper on MSRP at $300 vs $5,699, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 1818% (23.8 vs 1.2), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
