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.

GRID RTX6000-1Q vs Radeon Pro WX 8200: 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 RTX6000-1Q

2015

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 530.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $6,299 MSRPvs$999 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 2.0 vs 12.6 G3D/$ ($6,299 MSRP vs $999 MSRP).

Radeon Pro WX 8200

2018

Why buy it

  • Costs $5,300 less on MSRP ($999 MSRP vs $6,299 MSRP).
  • Delivers 530.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 12.6 vs 2.0 G3D/$ ($999 MSRP vs $6,299 MSRP).
  • GRID RTX6000-1Q is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so Radeon Pro WX 8200 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 8 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GRID RTX6000-1Q is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0% in PassMark G3D (12,617 vs 12,615), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon Pro WX 8200 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 14nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2018 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 WX 8200 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $5,300 cheaper on MSRP at $999 vs $6,299, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 530.4% (12.6 vs 2.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GRID RTX6000-1Q still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
