About G3D Mark🏆 Chipversus Verdict
⚠️ Generational Difference
The Arc A380 is significantly newer (2022 vs 2015). The Arc A380 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Quadro M4000M lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.
🚀 Performance Leadership
The Arc A380 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2.5% higher G3D Mark score and 50% more VRAM (6 GB vs 4 GB). This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the Quadro M4000M.
