Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Quadro P620 has 753% better value for money than FirePro D500.

Technical specs

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	1536	512
Core clock speed	725 MHz	1177 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	1442 MHz
Number of transistors	4,313 million	3,300 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	14 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	274 Watt	25 Watt
Texture fill rate	69.60	43.33
Floating-point performance	2,227 gflops	1,490 gflops

Size and compatibility

Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCIe 3.0 x16	PCIe 3.0 x16
Length	279 mm	145 mm
Width	2-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	no data	None

Memory

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR5	GDDR5
Maximum RAM amount	3 GB	2 GB
Memory bus width	384 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	5080 MHz	6000 MHz
Memory bandwidth	243.8 GB/s	80.13 GB/s
Shared memory	no data	-

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors
