HD 520 vs Quadro K2100M comparison

For gaming, the Quadro K2100M graphics card is better than the HD 520 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro K2100M 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 HD 520 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Quadro K2100M at 55 W. 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 K2100M is faster than the HD 520.
