Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q vs Quadro RTX 4000 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q beats the Quadro RTX 4000 in gaming performance.

The Quadro RTX 4000 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 Quadro RTX 4000 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro RTX 4000 has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the Quadro RTX 4000 at 160 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 RTX 3000 Max-Q over the Quadro RTX 4000.
