See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Intel Arc Pro A30M

2022

Why buy it

✅6.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Better long-term bet: Generation 12.7 (2022−2023) on 6nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
✅Draws 50W instead of 75W, a 25W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quadro M3000M

2015

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Intel Arc Pro A30M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌2015 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌50% higher power demand at 75W vs 50W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Intel Arc Pro A30M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 6.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 5.2% in PassMark G3D (5,862 vs 5,574), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

Intel Arc Pro A30M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 6nm process instead of 28nm, 8 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2015. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Intel Arc Pro A30M makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
