NVIDIA Quadro K3100M Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro K3100M

The Quadro K3100M is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2013. This chip has a bad gaming score with 278 points in our GPU benchmark.

The Quadro K3100M has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 100 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 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 K3100M GPU core runs at a frequency of 680 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 K3100M 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 75W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
