Quadro P600

2017

Why buy it

✅Draws 40W instead of 75W, a 35W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon RX 560X across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 25.9 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $129 MSRP).

Radeon RX 560X

2018

Why buy it

✅34.5% more average FPS across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 25.9 vs 0 G3D/$ ($129 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Quadro P600: it remains the more sensible modern option while Quadro P600 is already obsolete for modern gaming.

Trade-offs

❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
❌87.5% higher power demand at 75W vs 40W.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 560X better than Quadro P600?

Yes. Radeon RX 560X is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 34.5% more average FPS across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data, 0.7% higher PassMark G3D performance, and 4 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM. It also comes from 2018 instead of 2017, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon RX 560X is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2018 generation instead of 2017, more VRAM at 4 GB instead of 2 GB, and better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon RX 560X is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon RX 560X is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $129 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 34.5% more estimated average FPS across 46 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.7% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Quadro P600 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Quadro P600 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if Radeon RX 560X is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
