Quadro P3000 vs Radeon HD 7990 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon HD 7990 graphics card is better than the Quadro P3000 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro P3000 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 P3000 has significantly more memory with 6 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 P3000 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 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 P3000.
