In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M 2GB are massively better than the Nvidia Quadro 5010M.
The GTX 950M was released over three years more recently than the Quadro 5010M, and so the GTX 950M is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Quadro 5010M when running the latest games.
The Quadro 5010M has 2048 MB more video memory than the GTX 950M, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Quadro 5010M also has superior memory performance overall.
The Quadro 5010M has 86.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 950M, which means that the memory performance of the Quadro 5010M is much better than the GTX 950M.
The GeForce GTX 950M 2GB has 640 Shader Processing Units and the Quadro 5010M has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 950M is 858 and the actual shader performance of the Quadro 5010M is 173. The GTX 950M having 685 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the Quadro 5010M performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The GTX 950M transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Quadro 5010M. This means that the GTX 950M is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Quadro 5010M.
The GeForce GTX 950M 2GB requires 50 Watts to run and the Quadro 5010M requires 100 Watts. The Quadro 5010M requires 50 Watts more than the GTX 950M to run. The difference is significant enough that the Quadro 5010M may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 950M.

Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 950M 2GB is a Performance Mobile Graphics Card based on the first variant of the Maxwell architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Maxwell Architecture succeeds the Kepler Architecture. Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed GM107-N16P-GT which has 5 SM activated and thus offers 640 Shader Processing Units, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The central unit runs at 914MHz and goes up to 993MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The memory clock operates at 1253MHz. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. Features DirectX 12 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 50W, it may be equipped in average sized notebooks. Performance Because GeForce GTX 950M 2GB is just a higher clocked GeForce GTX 850M v2 2GB, its performance is only about 5% faster than its predecessors and so GeForce GTX 860M 2GB is still faster. Still, it still offers decent gaming at 1920x1080 and most modern games should run fluently at high settings. System Suggestions We recommend a strong processor (Intel Core i5 Mobile) and 8GB of RAM for a notebook with GeForce GTX 950M 2GB. | The newest NVIDIAŽ QuadroŽ mobile professional graphics solutions are true technological breakthroughs, featuring up to 4 GB of graphics memory and 384 CUDA cores. Built on the innovative NVIDIA Fermi architecture, the latest Quadro mobile graphics offerings integrate high performance computing capabilities with advanced visualization, transforming your new laptop into a mobile super computer. The Quadro 5010M is the successor to the Quadro 5000M and also offers ECC RAM and double-precision floating point cores. |
