GeForce GTX 690 vs Quadro RTX 4000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro RTX 4000 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 690 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Quadro RTX 4000 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 RTX 4000 also has a significantly 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 RTX 4000 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 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 Quadro RTX 4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 160 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro RTX 4000 is faster than the GeForce GTX 690.
