GeForce GTX 960 vs Quadro 3000M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 960 GPU is faster than the Quadro 3000M in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 960 has a significantly 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 960 has significantly more memory with 4 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 3000M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960 at 120 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 GeForce GTX 960 is faster than the Quadro 3000M.
