GeForce GTX 980M vs Quadro P4200 Max-Q benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Quadro P4200 Max-Q beats the GeForce GTX 980M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Quadro P4200 Max-Q 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 P4200 Max-Q also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 980M and the Quadro P4200 Max-Q 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro P4200 Max-Q is faster than the GeForce GTX 980M.
