Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Quadro FX 5800 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Quadro FX 5800 scores 1,211 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 (2007−2013) architecture (codename: GT200B), manufactured on a 55 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 240 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 80 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.6221 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
