GeForce GTX 660 vs Quadro M1000M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660 GPU is faster than the Quadro M1000M in gaming.

The Quadro M1000M 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro M1000M has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Quadro M1000M has a significantly lower TDP at 40 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 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 660 over the Quadro M1000M.
