GeForce GTX 970 vs Quadro 2000 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 970 graphics card is better than the Quadro 2000 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 970 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 970 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro 2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 62 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 970 at 145 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 970 is faster than the Quadro 2000.
