GRID P40-4Q

2013

Why buy it

✅+8.8% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.0 vs 0 G3D/$ ($3,000 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌1400% higher power demand at 225W vs 15W.

Radeon 760M

2024

Why buy it

✅More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 4nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 15W instead of 225W, a 210W reduction.
✅More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 4nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (5,449 vs 5,926).
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $3,000 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GRID P40-4Q better than Radeon 760M?

Yes. GRID P40-4Q is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 5,926 vs 5,449 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GRID P40-4Q is a 2013 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon 760M is a 2024 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?

Radeon 760M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2013, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 4nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GRID P40-4Q is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GRID P40-4Q is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $3,000 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 8.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. Radeon 760M is the newer 2024 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 225W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon 760M make more sense than GRID P40-4Q?

Yes. Radeon 760M is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 225W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GRID P40-4Q. The trade-off is that GRID P40-4Q currently gives you 8.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
