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 T4-8Q vs Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H: 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 T4-8Q

2015

Why buy it

  • Draws 100W instead of 250W, a 150W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 1150% HIGHER MSRP
    $2,500 MSRPvs$200 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.9 vs 24.3 G3D/$ ($2,500 MSRP vs $200 MSRP).

Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H

2020

Why buy it

  • Costs $2,300 less on MSRP ($200 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 1173.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 24.3 vs 1.9 G3D/$ ($200 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
  • GRID T4-8Q is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 150% higher power demand at 250W vs 100W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1.9% in PassMark G3D (4,852 vs 4,762), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H 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, 60 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2015. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H makes the most sense to buy today. It is $2,300 cheaper on MSRP at $200 vs $2,500, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 1173.6% (24.3 vs 1.9), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
