Quadro 2100M vs Radeon 625: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Quadro 2100M

2013

Why buy it

  • 17.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 700% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 512 MB).

Trade-offs

  • 2013 hardware with 4 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 10.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $100 MSRP).

Radeon 625

2019

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Quadro 2100M is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Radeon 625 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro 2100M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2019 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Quadro 2100M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 17.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.1% in PassMark G3D (1,100 vs 1,077), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon 625 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 and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon 625 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Quadro 2100M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
