GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs Quadro P3000 comparison

For gaming, the Quadro P3000 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q has a slightly 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 6 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro P3000 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q at 80 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro P3000 over the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q.
