Quadro K1000M vs Quadro K600 benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro K600 graphics card is better than the Quadro K1000M in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro K600 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro K1000M has significantly more memory with 2 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Quadro K600 has a slightly lower TDP at 41 W when compared to the Quadro K1000M at 45 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro K600 is faster than the Quadro K1000M.
