Quadro K1200 vs Quadro K4200 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro K4200 GPU is faster than the Quadro K1200 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Quadro K1200 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 K1200 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro K1200 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Quadro K4200 at 105 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro K4200 over the Quadro K1200.
