GeForce GTX 980M vs Quadro M4000 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 980M beats the Quadro M4000 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 980M 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro M4000 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 GeForce GTX 980M has a slightly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the Quadro M4000 at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 980M is faster than the Quadro M4000.
