Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Quadro P4000 Max-Q is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 43.1% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 5.7% in PassMark G3D (7,500 vs 7,098), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

RadeonT 780M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 4nm process instead of 16nm, 12 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2024 generation instead of 2017. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Quadro P4000 Max-Q makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Quadro P4000 Max-Q is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, RadeonT 780M has the stronger long-term case.
