Quadro M5000 vs GeForce GTX 1060 5GB comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Quadro M5000 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB has a significantly 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 GeForce GTX 1060 5GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Quadro M5000 at 150 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro M5000 over the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB.
