Quadro K2000 vs Radeon HD 8790M benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon HD 8790M graphics card is better than the Quadro K2000 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro K2000 has a slightly 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, 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 K2000.
