P106-090 vs Radeon Pro: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

P106-090

2017

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 6.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($389 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 75W instead of 250W, a 175W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌2017 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Radeon Pro

2020

Why buy it

✅P106-090 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon Pro is the less risky modern option long term.
✅Measures 241mm instead of 250mm, a 9mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.
✅More future proof: GCN 5.1 (2018−2022) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 6.3 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $389 MSRP).
❌233.3% higher power demand at 250W vs 75W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

P106-090 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 4.2% in PassMark G3D (2,466 vs 2,366), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.

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

Radeon Pro is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 7nm process instead of 16nm, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2017. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

P106-090 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, P106-090 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Radeon Pro has the stronger long-term case.
