Quadro M4000 vs Radeon RX Vega M GH: 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

  • 16.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 8.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($791 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs Unknown).
  • Radeon RX Vega M GH is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro M4000 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 24000% longer card at 241mm vs 1mm.

Radeon RX Vega M GH

2018

Why buy it

  • Measures 1mm instead of 241mm, a 240mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro M4000 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2018 hardware with Unknown 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 8.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $791 MSRP).
