Quadro M2000 vs GeForce GTX 870M comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 870M graphics card is better than the Quadro M2000 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Quadro M2000 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Quadro M2000 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Quadro M2000 has a slightly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 870M at 100 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 GeForce GTX 870M is better than the Quadro M2000.
