Quadro K3100M vs Quadro K5100M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K5100M beats the Quadro K3100M in gaming performance.

The Quadro K5100M has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro K5100M has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro K3100M has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Quadro K5100M at 100 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro K5100M is faster than the Quadro K3100M.
