GeForce GTX 660M vs Quadro K2100M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 660M graphics card is better than the Quadro K2100M in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 660M has a significantly 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 2 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 GeForce GTX 660M has a slightly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Quadro K2100M at 55 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

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