GRID M60-4Q 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.

GRID M60-4Q

2015

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 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).
  • GRID M60-4Q is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro P620 is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 40W instead of 225W, a 185W reduction.
  • Measures 145mm instead of 267mm, a 122mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • 2018 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GRID M60-4Q is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 3.6% in PassMark G3D (3,831 vs 3,698), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
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 2015. 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 to buy today. It is $2,330 cheaper on MSRP at $170 vs $2,500, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 1319.5% (21.8 vs 1.5), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GRID M60-4Q still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
