Quadro K3100M vs Quadro M1200 benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro M1200 graphics card is better than the Quadro K3100M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro M1200 has a significantly 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, 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 M1200 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Quadro K3100M at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro M1200 is faster than the Quadro K3100M.
