Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Radeon Vega 2 is significantly newer (2021 vs 2010). The Radeon Vega 2 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The GeForce GTS 150M lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon Vega 2 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 0.4% higher G3D Mark score. However, the GeForce GTS 150M offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.

Insight	Radeon Vega 2	GeForce GTS 150M
Performance	✅Leading raw performance (+0.4%)	❌Lower raw frame rates (-0.4%)
