Radeon RX 480 vs Quadro K4000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 480 GPU is faster than the Quadro K4000 in gaming.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon RX 480 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Quadro K4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Radeon RX 480 at 150 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 RX 480 is better than the Quadro K4000.
