GeForce GTX 690 vs Quadro K5200 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro K5200 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 690 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 690 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 GeForce GTX 690 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro K5200 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro K5200 has a significantly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro K5200 is faster than the GeForce GTX 690.
