Quadro M4000 vs Radeon RX 570: 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 M4000

2015

Why buy it

✅5.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
✅Draws 100W instead of 120W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌2015 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
❌
368% HIGHER MSRP
$791 MSRPvs$169 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 8.4 vs 41.2 G3D/$ ($791 MSRP vs $169 MSRP).

Radeon RX 570

2017

Why buy it

✅Costs $622 less on MSRP ($169 MSRP vs $791 MSRP).
✅Delivers 388.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 41.2 vs 8.4 G3D/$ ($169 MSRP vs $791 MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
✅Quadro M4000 is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so Radeon RX 570 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Quadro M4000 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Quadro M4000 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 5.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon RX 570 instead at 6,967 vs 6,679, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.

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

Radeon RX 570 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) and FSR Frame Generation (2023), while Quadro M4000 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 14nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2017 generation instead of 2015. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon RX 570 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $622 cheaper on MSRP at $169 vs $791, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 388.2% (41.2 vs 8.4), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Quadro M4000 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
