GRID V100-2Q vs Quadro P620 Performance Spectrum

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 V100-2Q vs Quadro P620: 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 V100-2Q

2015

Why buy it

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

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.
  • 5782.4% HIGHER MSRP
    $10,000 MSRPvs$170 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.4 vs 21.8 G3D/$ ($10,000 MSRP vs $170 MSRP).
  • 462.5% higher power demand at 225W vs 40W.

Quadro P620

2018

Why buy it

  • Costs $9,830 less on MSRP ($170 MSRP vs $10,000 MSRP).
  • Delivers 5607.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.8 vs 0.4 G3D/$ ($170 MSRP vs $10,000 MSRP).
  • GRID V100-2Q is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro P620 is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 40W instead of 225W, a 185W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2018 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GRID V100-2Q is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 3.1% in PassMark G3D (3,811 vs 3,698), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Quadro P620 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 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?
Quadro P620 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $9,830 cheaper on MSRP at $170 vs $10,000, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 5607.9% (21.8 vs 0.4), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GRID V100-2Q still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
