HD 520 vs Quadro M1000M benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro M1000M graphics card is better than the HD 520 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro M1000M 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 M1000M at 40 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro M1000M is better than the HD 520.
