Radeon HD 8950 vs Quadro T1000 Max-Q benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro T1000 Max-Q graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8950 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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.

In addition, the Quadro T1000 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8950 at 225 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro T1000 Max-Q is better than the Radeon HD 8950.
