GeForce GTX 880M vs Quadro P620: 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 GTX 880M

2014

Why buy it

  • 63.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 2 GB).
  • Measures 1mm instead of 145mm, a 144mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • 2014 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 21.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $170 MSRP).
  • 205% higher power demand at 122W vs 40W.

Quadro P620

2018

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($170 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • GeForce GTX 880M is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro P620 is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 40W instead of 122W, a 82W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 880M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2018 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 14400% longer card at 145mm vs 1mm.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 880M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 63.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.5% in PassMark G3D (3,826 vs 3,698), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Quadro P620 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 14nm process instead of 28nm and a newer 2018 generation instead of 2014. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Quadro P620 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce GTX 880M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
