GeForce 840A vs Quadro K620M: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce 840A

2014

Why buy it

  • 4.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 11.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2014 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quadro K620M

2015

Why buy it

  • 700% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 512 MB).
  • More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce 840A across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
