GeForce GTX 960 vs Quadro K1100M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 960 graphics card is better than the Quadro K1100M in our tests.

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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 960 has significantly more memory with 4 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 K1100M has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960 at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 960 is faster than the Quadro K1100M.
