Radeon RX 480 vs Quadro M1200 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 480 beats the Quadro M1200 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 480 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 480 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro M1200 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon RX 480 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 480 over the Quadro M1200.
