GeForce GTX 1050 vs Quadro K1000M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1050 beats the Quadro K1000M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 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, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K1000M has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 is better than the Quadro K1000M.
