GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs Quadro M4000 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q graphics card is better than the Quadro M4000 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro M4000 has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 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 1060 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Quadro M4000 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.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q is better than the Quadro M4000.
