Radeon RX 560 vs Quadro K1200 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 560 graphics card is better than the Quadro K1200 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 560 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 560 also 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, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro K1200 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 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 Radeon RX 560 is better than the Quadro K1200.
