Radeon RX 6500 XT vs Quadro RTX 3000 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card is better than the Quadro RTX 3000 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6500 XT 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, the Quadro RTX 3000 has significantly more memory with 6 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 RTX 3000 has a slightly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6500 XT at 107 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 6500 XT is faster than the Quadro RTX 3000.
