GeForce GTX 980 vs Quadro P4000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro P4000 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 in gaming.

The Quadro P4000 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 P4000 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro P4000 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro P4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 105 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 at 165 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro P4000 is better than the GeForce GTX 980.
