GeForce GTX 660 vs Quadro K4000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660 GPU is faster than the Quadro K4000 in gaming.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 3 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660 is better than the Quadro K4000.
