Radeon R9 290X vs Quadro RTX 3000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R9 290X GPU is faster than the Quadro RTX 3000 in gaming.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro RTX 3000 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro RTX 3000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Radeon R9 290X at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R9 290X is faster than the Quadro RTX 3000.
