Radeon R9 270 vs Quadro M2000 benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro M2000 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 270 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro M2000 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. In addition, the Quadro M2000 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro M2000 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 M2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 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.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro M2000 is better than the Radeon R9 270.
