Quadro P2000 vs GeForce GTX 960M specs and performance

For gaming, the Quadro P2000 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 960M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 960M 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. Despite this, the Quadro P2000 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 960M has a slightly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Quadro P2000 at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro P2000 over the GeForce GTX 960M.
