Quadro K4200 vs Quadro K5100M benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro K4200 graphics card is better than the Quadro K5100M in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro K4200 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro K5100M has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 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 K5100M has a slightly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the Quadro K4200 at 105 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 K4200 is better than the Quadro K5100M.
