GeForce GTX 660 vs Quadro M2000M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 660 graphics card is better than the Quadro M2000M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro M2000M has a slightly 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. In addition, the Quadro M2000M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro M2000M has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro M2000M 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 M2000M.
