GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Quadro K420 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card is better than the Quadro K420 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a significantly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K420 has a significantly lower TDP at 41 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is faster than the Quadro K420.
