Radeon R9 390 vs Quadro M4000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R9 390 GPU is faster than the Quadro M4000 in gaming.

The Radeon R9 390 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro M4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon R9 390 at 275 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R9 390 over the Quadro M4000.
