GeForce GTX 960M vs Quadro M2000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro M2000 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 960M in gaming.

The Quadro M2000 has a slightly 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 960M has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 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 GeForce GTX 960M has a slightly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Quadro M2000 at 75 W. 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 Quadro M2000 is better than the GeForce GTX 960M.
