GRID M60-4Q

2015

Why buy it

✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌
1370.6% HIGHER MSRP
$2,500 MSRPvs$170 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.5 vs 21.8 G3D/$ ($2,500 MSRP vs $170 MSRP).
❌462.5% higher power demand at 225W vs 40W.
❌84.1% longer card at 267mm vs 145mm.

Quadro P620

2018

Why buy it

✅Costs $2,330 less on MSRP ($170 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
✅Delivers 1319.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.8 vs 1.5 G3D/$ ($170 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
✅Less risky long-term buy than GRID M60-4Q: it remains the more sensible modern option while GRID M60-4Q is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅Draws 40W instead of 225W, a 185W reduction.
✅Measures 145mm instead of 267mm, a 122mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2018-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Quick Answers

So, is GRID M60-4Q 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 3,831 vs 3,698 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GRID M60-4Q 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 2015 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?

GRID M60-4Q is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GRID M60-4Q is about 1370.6% more expensive on MSRP at $2,500 MSRP versus $170 MSRP, and you are getting 3.6% 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 GRID M60-4Q?

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 225W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $170 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GRID M60-4Q. The trade-off is that GRID M60-4Q currently gives you 3.6% higher G3D Mark. Quadro P620 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
