Quadro 3000M vs Quadro K2000M benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro 3000M graphics card is better than the Quadro K2000M in our tests.

The Quadro K2000M has a significantly 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, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K2000M has a slightly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the Quadro 3000M at 75 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 3000M is faster than the Quadro K2000M.
