Radeon R7 M265 vs Quadro K420 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon R7 M265 graphics card is better than the Quadro K420 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro K420 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R7 M265 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 M265 is faster than the Quadro K420.
