NVIDIA Quadro M520

Thanks to our GPU Benchmark, we have measured the NVIDIA Quadro M520 as a bad gaming performer a score of 5%.

The Quadro M520 has 2 GiB of memory. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.

In terms of clock speed, the Quadro M520 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1041 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 M520 supports up to DirectX 12.0. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

The NVIDIA Quadro M520 has a TDP of 25W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
