GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs Quadro M5000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Quadro M5000 beats the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q also has a slightly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro M5000 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 M5000 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro M5000 is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q.
