In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia Quadro K2000M are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 550M 2GB.
The Quadro K2000M was released over a year more recently than the GT 550M, and so the Quadro K2000M is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GT 550M.
The Quadro K2000M and the GeForce GT 550M 2GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Quadro K2000M and the GeForce GT 550M 2GB are the same, which means the Quadro K2000M and the GT 550M have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Quadro K2000M has 384 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 550M 2GB has 96. However, the actual shader performance of the Quadro K2000M is 286 and the actual shader performance of the GT 550M is 142. The Quadro K2000M having 144 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the GT 550M performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The Quadro K2000M transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GT 550M. This means that the Quadro K2000M is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GT 550M.
The Quadro K2000M requires 55 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 550M 2GB requires 35 Watts. The Quadro K2000M requires 20 Watts more than the GT 550M to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Quadro K2000M to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GT 550M.

Mini Review | Quadro K2000M is a middle-class business card based on the 28nm, Kepler architecture. Technically the successor to the previous Quadro 2000M, it's based on the Kepler GK107 and offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs, on a 128-bit memory interface of standard DDR3. The central unit runs at 750MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 900MHz. Quadro K2000M's drivers are certified for professional applications only. Its gaming performance is slightly above GeForce GT 640M. | Overview GeForce GT 550M 2GB is a middle-class Mobile Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Fermi Architecture. Architecture The Fermi Architecture is manufactured with a 40nm technology and uses a technique known as Hot Clocking: The Shaders are clocked twice as fast as the Central Unit. While this leads to a reasonable performance boost, it causes enormous amounts of energy dissipation, leading, ultimately, to a significantly higher operating temperature. Fermi is also the first GPU architecture with fully cached memory access which increases memory performance. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GF108 which has 2 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 96 Shader Processing Units, 16 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The Central Unit is clocked at 740MHz. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of DDR3, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is exaggerated and in no way benefits the GPU. The Memory Clock Operates at 900MHz. Features DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for Optimus, 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, Realtime Raytracing and other technologies Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 35W, it is suited for 15" or larger laptops. Performance Gaming benchmarks put its performance only slightly above a desktop GeForce GT 430. System Suggestions We recommend a modest processor (Intel Core i3 Mobile) and 4GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GT 550M 2GB. |
