Quadro K3100M vs Quadro K4100M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K4100M beats the Quadro K3100M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Quadro K4100M 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K3100M has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Quadro K4100M at 100 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro K4100M is better than the Quadro K3100M.
