Quadro M4000 vs Radeon HD 7990 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon HD 7990 GPU is faster than the Quadro M4000 in gaming.

The Radeon HD 7990 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro M4000 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro M4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon HD 7990 at 375 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon HD 7990 over the Quadro M4000.
