GeForce GTX 980M vs Quadro K5200 comparison

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

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 980M 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 GeForce GTX 980M 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that 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 GeForce GTX 980M has a significantly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the Quadro K5200 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

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