Quadro 4000M vs Radeon HD 8790M comparison

For gaming, the Radeon HD 8790M graphics card is better than the Quadro 4000M in our tests.

The Radeon HD 8790M has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon HD 8790M is better than the Quadro 4000M.
