Moore Threads MTT S30 vs Quadro FX 3800M 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.

Moore Threads MTT S30 vs Quadro FX 3800M: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Moore Threads MTT S30

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($55 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Quadro FX 3800M is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Moore Threads MTT S30 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Older hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 34.9% higher power demand at 255W vs 189W.

Quadro FX 3800M

2008

Why buy it

  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Draws 189W instead of 255W, a 66W reduction.
  • More future proof: Tesla 2.0 (2007−2013) on 55nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2008 hardware with 1 GB 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 vs 10.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $55 MSRP).
