GeForce GTX 660 vs Quadro K2100M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 660 beats the Quadro K2100M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 660 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 660 has significantly more memory with 3 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K2100M has a significantly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 660 is faster than the Quadro K2100M.
