Radeon RX 470 vs Quadro M5000 comparison

For gaming, the Quadro M5000 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 470 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro M5000 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. Despite this, the Radeon RX 470 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, they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 470 has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Quadro M5000 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 M5000 is better than the Radeon RX 470.
