Quadro M620 vs RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Quadro M620

2017

Why buy it

  • Draws 30W instead of 600W, a 570W reduction.
  • Measures 1mm instead of 304mm, a 303mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 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 0.3 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $8,565 MSRP).

RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q

2025

Why buy it

  • 125.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($8,565 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Better long-term bet: Blackwell 2.0 (2025−2026) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 1900% higher power demand at 600W vs 30W.
  • 30300% longer card at 304mm vs 1mm.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 125.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
