Quadro K6000 vs Quadro P4000 benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro P4000 graphics card is better than the Quadro K6000 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro P4000 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. In addition, the Quadro P4000 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro K6000 has significantly more memory with 12 GiB of memory compared to 8 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro P4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 105 W when compared to the Quadro K6000 at 225 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Quadro P4000 is faster than the Quadro K6000.
