Quadro K4000 vs Quadro RTX 4000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro RTX 4000 GPU is faster than the Quadro K4000 in gaming.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro RTX 4000 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro K4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Quadro RTX 4000 at 160 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro RTX 4000 is faster than the Quadro K4000.
