GeForce GTX 980M vs Quadro P3000 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro P3000 beats the GeForce GTX 980M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Quadro P3000 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro P3000 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro P3000 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980M at 100 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 Quadro P3000 is faster than the GeForce GTX 980M.
