Quadro K1100M vs Radeon HD 8790M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon HD 8790M GPU is faster than the Quadro K1100M in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon HD 8790M has a slightly 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon HD 8790M over the Quadro K1100M.
