About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Intel UHD Graphics 600 is significantly newer (2014 vs 2008). The Intel UHD Graphics 600 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Quadro FX 3500M lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Intel UHD Graphics 600 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2% higher G3D Mark score. However, the Quadro FX 3500M offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
