Radeon R7 260X vs Quadro K4100M comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 260X graphics card is better than the Quadro K4100M in our tests.

The Radeon R7 260X has a significantly 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, the Quadro K4100M has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Quadro K4100M has a slightly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 260X is faster than the Quadro K4100M.
