NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q

Released in 2019, the Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is a good card for gaming with a score of 3792 points.

The Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q has 6 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 281 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 192 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 RTX 3000 Max-Q GPU core runs at a frequency of 600 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1215 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 RTX 3000 Max-Q supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 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.

This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 60W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
