Graphics Performance

The Quadro P4000 Max-Q scores 7,500 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Pascal (2016−2021) architecture (codename: GP104), manufactured on a 16 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1792 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 112 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 4.401 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1228 MHz from a base of 1114 MHz.
