Quadro P400 vs GeForce 940M specs and performance

For gaming, the Quadro P400 graphics card is better than the GeForce 940M in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro P400 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. In addition, the Quadro P400 also 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 Quadro P400 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce 940M at 75 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Quadro P400 is better than the GeForce 940M.
