Quadro K2100M vs Quadro K3100M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K2100M beats the Quadro K3100M in gaming performance.

The Quadro K3100M 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 K3100M has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 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 K2100M has a slightly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the Quadro K3100M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro K2100M is faster than the Quadro K3100M.
