Tesla M60 vs UHD Graphics 617

If you are going to buy a new graphics card and are choosing between Tesla M60 and UHD Graphics 617, there are a couple of things to consider. Cards with more VRAM in general perform better and allow you to play on higher graphics settings. Size also makes a difference. A model with a large heatsink can occupy up to three expansion slots on a motherboard. Be sure you have enough room in your PC case. When comparing GPUs with different architectures, more processing cores and even higher TFLOPS will not always translate to better performance. To help you decide which GPU you need, we have measured frame rates in a number of popular games. For more on how the Tesla M60 stacks up against UHD Graphics 617, check out specs charts below.

UHD Graphics 617 is a Laptop Graphics Card

Note: UHD Graphics 617 is only used in laptop graphics. It has lower GPU clock speed compared to the desktop variant, which results in lower power consumption, but also 10-30% lower gaming performance. Check available laptop models with UHD Graphics 617 here:
