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

GRID K2

2013

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.5 vs 0 G3D/$ ($5,199 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌2013 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌650% higher power demand at 225W vs 30W.

Quadro M620

2017

Why buy it

✅Draws 30W instead of 225W, a 195W reduction.
✅More future proof: Maxwell (2014−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2017 hardware with 2 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 0.5 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $5,199 MSRP).
