GeForce GTX 880M

2014

Why buy it

✅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

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2014-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌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).
✅Less risky long-term buy than GeForce GTX 880M: it remains the more sensible modern option while GeForce GTX 880M is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅Draws 40W instead of 122W, a 82W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌14400% longer card at 145mm vs 1mm.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 880M better than Quadro P620?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 3,826 vs 3,698 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce GTX 880M is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Quadro P620 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2018 generation instead of 2014 and a 14nm process instead of 28nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce GTX 880M is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce GTX 880M is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $170 MSRP, and you are getting 3.5% higher G3D Mark. Quadro P620 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Quadro P620 make more sense than GeForce GTX 880M?

Yes. Quadro P620 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (40W vs 122W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $170 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 880M. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 880M currently gives you 3.5% higher G3D Mark. Quadro P620 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
