GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q vs Quadro K4200 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q beats the Quadro K4200 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q 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 GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

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 GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Quadro K4200 at 105 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q over the Quadro K4200.
