GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs Quadro K5200 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K5200 beats the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro K5200 has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Quadro K5200 at 150 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 Quadro K5200 is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
