NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q

The Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2019. This chip has a very good gaming score with 5962 points in our GPU benchmark.

The Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q has 16 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 375 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 RTX 5000 Max-Q GPU core runs at a frequency of 600 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1350 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 RTX 5000 Max-Q supports up to DirectX 12.0. 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.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 80 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
