GeForce GTX 1060 vs Quadro M3000M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card is better than the Quadro M3000M in our tests.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 1060 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro M3000M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 at 120 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 GeForce GTX 1060 over the Quadro M3000M.
