GeForce GTX 1050 vs Quadro K5100M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 GPU is faster than the Quadro K5100M in gaming.

In our comparison, 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro K5100M has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Quadro K5100M at 100 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 is better than the Quadro K5100M.
