Quadro K1200 vs Quadro M4000 comparison

For gaming, the Quadro M4000 graphics card is better than the Quadro K1200 in our tests.

In our comparison, 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro M4000 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 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 K1200 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Quadro M4000 at 120 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro M4000 over the Quadro K1200.
