NVIDIA Quadro K1000M Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro K1000M

Released in 2012, the Quadro K1000M is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is a bad card for gaming with a score of 93 points.

The Quadro K1000M has 2 GiB of DDR3 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 28 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the Quadro K1000M GPU core runs at a frequency of 850 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the Quadro K1000M supports up to DirectX 11. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA Quadro K1000M are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 45 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.
