Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon 780M is significantly newer (2024 vs 2015). The Radeon 780M likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Quadro M4000 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon 780M is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 3.4% higher G3D Mark score. However, the Quadro M4000 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
