About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The RADEON E2400 is significantly newer (2017 vs 2011). The RADEON E2400 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce FX 5950 Ultra lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The GeForce FX 5950 Ultra is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 13.5% higher G3D Mark score. However, the RADEON E2400 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
