Radeon RX 540 vs Quadro P400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 540 beats the Quadro P400 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 540 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. Despite this, the Quadro P400 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 540 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 540 is better than the Quadro P400.
