About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon Vega 3 is significantly newer (2021 vs 2014). The Radeon Vega 3 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The HD Graphics 6000 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon Vega 3 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2.2% higher G3D Mark score. This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the HD Graphics 6000.
