GeForce GTX 1050 vs Quadro K2100M comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card is better than the Quadro K2100M in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1050 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, 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 K2100M has a slightly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 is better than the Quadro K2100M.
