Quadro P2000 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 P2000

2017

Why buy it

  • 25% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (5 GB vs 4 GB).
  • Draws 75W instead of 120W, a 45W reduction.
  • Measures 201mm instead of 241mm, a 40mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon RX 570 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
  • 2017 hardware with 5 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 151.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $425 MSRPvs$169 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 16.4 vs 41.2 G3D/$ ($425 MSRP vs $169 MSRP).

Radeon RX 570

2017

Why buy it

  • 18.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $256 less on MSRP ($169 MSRP vs $425 MSRP).
  • Delivers 151.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 41.2 vs 16.4 G3D/$ ($169 MSRP vs $425 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
  • Quadro P2000 is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so Radeon RX 570 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 5 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2017 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 60% higher power demand at 120W vs 75W.
  • 19.9% longer card at 241mm vs 201mm.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon RX 570 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 18.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0% in PassMark G3D (6,967 vs 6,964), so the answer here is pretty clean.
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 P2000 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support and a 14nm process instead of 16nm. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon RX 570 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $256 cheaper on MSRP at $169 vs $425, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 151.6% (41.2 vs 16.4), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
