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.

MOBILITY RADEON X600 vs Mobility Radeon X1400: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

MOBILITY RADEON X600

2010

Why buy it

  • +16.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 14% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 1.0 vs 0.9 G3D/$ ($50 MSRP vs $49 MSRP).
  • More future proof: TeraScale 2 (2009−2015) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 128 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 66.7% higher power demand at 50W vs 30W.

Mobility Radeon X1400

2009

Why buy it

  • Costs $1 less on MSRP ($49 MSRP vs $50 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 50W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (43 vs 50).
  • 2009 hardware with 128 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.9 vs 1.0 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs $50 MSRP).
