GeForce GTX 970M vs Quadro T2000 Max-Q benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro T2000 Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 970M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro T2000 Max-Q 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. In addition, the Quadro T2000 Max-Q also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Quadro T2000 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 40 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 970M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro T2000 Max-Q is faster than the GeForce GTX 970M.
