GeForce GTX 950 vs Quadro RTX 3000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Quadro RTX 3000 beats the GeForce GTX 950 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 950 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro RTX 3000 has significantly more memory with 6 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 Quadro RTX 3000 has a slightly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950 at 90 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro RTX 3000 is faster than the GeForce GTX 950.
