Graphics Performance
The Quadro P4200 scores 10,376 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range 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 2304 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 144 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 7.589 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1647 MHz from a base of 1227 MHz.
