GeForce GTX 960M vs Quadro K5000M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro K5000M GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 960M in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 960M 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 960M has a significantly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Quadro K5000M at 100 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro K5000M over the GeForce GTX 960M.
