HD 5500 vs Quadro K420 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K420 beats the HD 5500 in gaming performance.

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 5500 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Quadro K420 at 41 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro K420 is better than the HD 5500.
