GeForce GTX 950M vs Quadro K3100M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 950M beats the Quadro K3100M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 950M 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.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 950M and the Quadro K3100M have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 950M is better than the Quadro K3100M.
