About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon 740M is significantly newer (2024 vs 2018). The Radeon 740M likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 GPU lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon 740M is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.3% higher G3D Mark score and 100+% more VRAM (2 GB vs 0 MB). This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 GPU.
