Radeon R7 450 vs Quadro 3000M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 450 beats the Quadro 3000M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R7 450 has a significantly 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, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon R7 450 has a slightly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Quadro 3000M at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R7 450 over the Quadro 3000M.
