Quadro P3000 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 P3000

2016

Why buy it

  • 61.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 10.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($600 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs Unknown).
  • Radeon RX Vega M GH is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro P3000 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • 2016 hardware with 6 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 150% higher power demand at 250W vs 100W.

Radeon RX Vega M GH

2018

Why buy it

  • Draws 100W instead of 250W, a 150W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro P3000 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 6 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 10.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $600 MSRP).
