GeForce GTX 980 vs Quadro K5200 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro K5200 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 980 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 980 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro K5200 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 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 Quadro K5200 has a slightly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 at 165 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro K5200 is faster than the GeForce GTX 980.
