See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU

2018

Why buy it

✅24.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌Older hardware, 8 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
❌100% higher power demand at 300W vs 150W.
❌10.8% longer card at 267mm vs 241mm.

Radeon RX 5600 OEM

2020

Why buy it

✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
✅Better long-term bet: RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) on 7nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
✅Draws 150W instead of 300W, a 150W reduction.
✅Measures 241mm instead of 267mm, a 26mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 24.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon RX 5600 OEM instead at 12,333 vs 12,258, 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?

Radeon RX 5600 OEM is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: native frame generation with FSR Frame Generation (2023), while Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU has no comparable frame-generation support, a 7nm process instead of 14nm, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2018. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Radeon RX 5600 OEM makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
