GeForce GTX 960 vs Quadro K4000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 960 beats the Quadro K4000 in gaming performance.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 960 has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 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 K4000.
