Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 5060 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card is better than the Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 5060 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 RTX 5060 also has a significantly 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 RTX 3000 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5060 at 145 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5060 is faster than the Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q.
