Quadro K4100M vs Radeon HD 8950 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon HD 8950 graphics card is better than the Quadro K4100M in our tests.

The Radeon HD 8950 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro K4100M has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Quadro K4100M 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 K4100M.
