Radeon R5 240 vs Quadro K3100M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K3100M beats the Radeon R5 240 in gaming performance.

The Radeon R5 240 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 K3100M has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon R5 240 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Quadro K3100M at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro K3100M over the Radeon R5 240.
