Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon RX Vega 3 is significantly newer (2019 vs 2012). The Radeon RX Vega 3 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The FirePro M7740 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon RX Vega 3 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2.9% higher G3D Mark score. However, the FirePro M7740 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
