Radeon R9 280 vs Quadro P2000 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R9 280 graphics card is better than the Quadro P2000 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro P2000 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 P2000 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.

In addition, the Quadro P2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon R9 280 at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R9 280 is better than the Quadro P2000.
