Radeon RX 5500 vs Quadro RTX 3000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 5500 beats the Quadro RTX 3000 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 5500 has a significantly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro RTX 3000 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 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 RTX 3000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5500 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 5500 is better than the Quadro RTX 3000.
