NVIDIA Quadro K5100M
The Quadro K5100M is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2013. This chip has a bad gaming score with 287 points in our GPU benchmark.
The Quadro K5100M has 8 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 112 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 K5100M GPU core runs at a frequency of 771 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.
As for rendering API support, the Quadro K5100M 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.
The NVIDIA Quadro K5100M has a TDP of 100W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
