Radeon R9 270 vs Quadro P600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R9 270 beats the Quadro P600 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Quadro P600 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. In addition, the Quadro P600 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that 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 Quadro P600 has a significantly lower TDP at 40 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 P600.
