Quadro P400 vs Radeon RX Vega 10: 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 P400

2017

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($169 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs Unknown).
  • Radeon RX Vega 10 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro P400 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon RX Vega 10 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2017 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 200% higher power demand at 30W vs 10W.

Radeon RX Vega 10

2019

Why buy it

  • 11.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Draws 10W instead of 30W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2019 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 9.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $169 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon RX Vega 10 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 11.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Quadro P400 instead at 1,659 vs 1,629, 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?
Quadro P400 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 2 GB vs Unknown of VRAM. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Quadro P400 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Radeon RX Vega 10 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
