NVIDIA Quadro K1100M Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro K1100M

The Quadro K1100M is an NVIDIA GPU that was released in 2013 July. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 167 points in our PC benchmark.

The Quadro K1100M has 2 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 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 K1100M GPU core runs at a frequency of 716 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 K1100M 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.

This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 45W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
