HD 530 vs Quadro K420 benchmarks

For gaming, the HD 530 graphics card is better than the Quadro K420 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro K420 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

In addition, the HD 530 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Quadro K420 at 41 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the HD 530 is faster than the Quadro K420.
