Quadro M3000M vs Quadro M4000 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro M4000 beats the Quadro M3000M in gaming performance.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Quadro M4000 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro M3000M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Quadro M4000 at 120 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 Quadro M4000 is better than the Quadro M3000M.
