GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q vs Quadro RTX 4000 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q beats the Quadro RTX 4000 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q has a significantly 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. Despite this, the Quadro RTX 4000 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 110 W when compared to the Quadro RTX 4000 at 160 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q is better than the Quadro RTX 4000.
