Quadro M2200 vs Radeon RX 460 (móvel): 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 M2200

2017

Why buy it

  • 14.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Maxwell 2.0 (2014−2019) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2017 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 405.1% HIGHER MSRP
    $500 MSRPvs$99 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 8.6 vs 41.4 G3D/$ ($500 MSRP vs $99 MSRP).

Radeon RX 460 (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

  • Costs $401 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 382.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 41.4 vs 8.6 G3D/$ ($99 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro M2200 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2016 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Quadro M2200 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 14.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 4.7% in PassMark G3D (4,294 vs 4,100), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Quadro M2200 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 4 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM and a newer 2017 generation instead of 2016. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon RX 460 (móvel) makes the most sense to buy today. It is $401 cheaper on MSRP at $99 vs $500, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 382.2% (41.4 vs 8.6), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon RX 460 (móvel) is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Quadro M2200 has the stronger long-term case.
