NVIDIA Quadro 400: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started Quadro 400 sales 5 April 2011 at a recommended price of $169 . This is a Tesla 2.0 architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 512 MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.54 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 12.32 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 163 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 32 Watt.

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on Quadro 400: 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	DDR3
Maximum RAM amount	512 MB	of 128 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 19000 (GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB)
