Quadro K600 vs Radeon HD 8490 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K600 beats the Radeon HD 8490 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Quadro K600 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 1 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon HD 8490 has a slightly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the Quadro K600 at 41 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 K600 is better than the Radeon HD 8490.
