GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Quadro RTX 5000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro RTX 5000 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in gaming.

Our database shows that the Quadro RTX 5000 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Quadro RTX 5000 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Quadro RTX 5000 has a slightly lower TDP at 230 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 250 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro RTX 5000 over the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
