Radeon R7 260X vs Quadro K5000M comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 260X graphics card is better than the Quadro K5000M in our tests.

Our database shows that 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro K5000M has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K5000M has a slightly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 260X is faster than the Quadro K5000M.
