NVIDIA Quadro 3000M Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro 3000M

The Quadro 3000M is a GPU from NVIDIA. This chip has a bad gaming score with 158 points in our GPU benchmark.

The Quadro 3000M has 2 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 78 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. More memory is beneficial when gaming at high resolutions as the memory needs to store the frame buffer and all the game textures. If you run out of memory, you will experience poor performance as the GPU needs to swap data in and out of the memory as it is used.

In terms of clock speed, the Quadro 3000M GPU core runs at a frequency of 450 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the Quadro 3000M supports up to DirectX 11. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA Quadro 3000M are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 75 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
