Quadro K6000 vs RTX A2000 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the RTX A2000 beats the Quadro K6000 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Quadro K6000 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. Despite this, the RTX A2000 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the RTX A2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 70 W when compared to the Quadro K6000 at 225 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the RTX A2000 is better than the Quadro K6000.
