Radeon R9 270 vs Quadro K2200 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R9 270 graphics card is better than the Quadro K2200 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro K2200 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. In addition, the Quadro K2200 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro K2200 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 K2200 has a significantly lower TDP at 68 W when compared to the Radeon R9 270 at 150 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 R9 270 is faster than the Quadro K2200.
