Aggregate performance score
Quadro provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 2.14% of a leader's which is RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell.
Contents
Summary
NVIDIA started Quadro sales on 1999. This is a Celsius architecture desktop card based on 220 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 32 MB of SDR memory clocked at 0.17 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 2.656 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 4x interface.

Form factor & compatibility
This section provides details about the physical dimensions of Quadro and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).
| Interface | AGP 4x | |
| Width | 1-slot | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on Quadro: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | SDR | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 32 MB | of 288 GB (Radeon Instinct MI325X) |
| Memory bus width | 128 Bit | of 384 (GeForce GTX 980 Ti) |

Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
