GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs Quadro K4000 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB graphics card is better than the Quadro K4000 in our tests.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is faster than the Quadro K4000.
