Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon 840M is significantly newer (2024 vs 2015). The Radeon 840M likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GRID V100-2Q lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The GRID V100-2Q is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.2% higher G3D Mark score. This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the Radeon 840M.

Insight	GRID V100-2Q	Radeon 840M
Performance	✅Leading raw performance (+0.2%)	❌Lower raw frame rates (-0.2%)
