GeForce GTX 660M vs Quadro P4000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro P4000 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660M in gaming.

The Quadro P4000 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. In addition, the Quadro P4000 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro P4000 has significantly more memory with 8 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 GeForce GTX 660M has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Quadro P4000 at 105 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro P4000 over the GeForce GTX 660M.
