GeForce GTX 980M vs Quadro P4200 specs and performance

For gaming, the Quadro P4200 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 980M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro P4200 has a slightly 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro P4200 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, both the GeForce GTX 980M and the Quadro P4200 have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro P4200 over the GeForce GTX 980M.
