Quadro 4000 vs UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake) Performance Spectrum

About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Quadro 4000 vs UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake): Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Quadro 4000

2010

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 1.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($1,199 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs Unknown).
  • UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake) is already obsolete for modern gaming, so Quadro 4000 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • 2010 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 846.7% higher power demand at 142W vs 15W.

UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake)

Why buy it

  • Draws 15W instead of 142W, a 127W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Older hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 1.2 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $1,199 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake) is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1.7% in PassMark G3D (1,500 vs 1,475), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Quadro 4000 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 2 GB vs Unknown of VRAM, a 40nm process instead of Unknown node, and a newer 2010 generation instead of 0. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Quadro 4000 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. UHD Graphics 32EUs (Alder Lake) still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
