GeForce GTX 1050 vs Quadro P4200 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro P4200 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1050 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro P4200 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Quadro P4200 at 100 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 Quadro P4200 over the GeForce GTX 1050.
