Radeon RX 560 vs Quadro K5000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro K5000 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 560 has a significantly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, 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 Radeon RX 560 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Quadro K5000 at 122 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro K5000 over the Radeon RX 560.
