Radeon R7 450 vs Quadro K1200 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K1200 beats the Radeon R7 450 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Quadro K1200 has a slightly 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 K1200 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 Quadro K1200 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon R7 450 at 65 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 Quadro K1200 is faster than the Radeon R7 450.
