Quadro K2200 vs Radeon HD 8950 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K2200 beats the Radeon HD 8950 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Quadro K2200 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, the Quadro K2200 has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K2200 has a significantly lower TDP at 68 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8950 at 225 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 K2200 is better than the Radeon HD 8950.
