Quadro 4000M vs Radeon HD 8950 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon HD 8950 GPU is faster than the Quadro 4000M in gaming.

The Radeon HD 8950 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon HD 8950 has significantly more memory with 3 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro 4000M has a significantly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8950 at 225 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon HD 8950 is better than the Quadro 4000M.
