Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Quadro K4200 has 377% better value for money than Quadro 7000.

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	512	1344
Core clock speed	651 MHz	771 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	784 MHz
Number of transistors	3,000 million	3,540 million
Manufacturing process technology	40 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	204 Watt	108 Watt
Texture fill rate	41.66	87.81
Floating-point performance	1,332 gflops	2,107 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 2.0 x16	PCIe 2.0 x16
Length	248 mm	241 mm
Width	2-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	no data	1x 6-pin

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	6 GB	4 GB
Memory bus width	384 Bit	256 Bit
Memory clock speed	3404 MHz	5400 MHz
Memory bandwidth	163.4 GB/s	172.8 GB/s

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

Combined synthetic benchmark score

This is our combined benchmark performance score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.

Quadro 7000 9.05

Quadro K4200 11.17
+23.4%

K4200 outperforms 7000 by 23% based on our aggregated benchmark results.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. 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.
