GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Quadro K4200 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB beats the Quadro K4200 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Quadro K4200 has a slightly lower TDP at 105 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is faster than the Quadro K4200.
