Quadro K4000 | Can It Game?

I was able to hack/unlock the vBIOS on my old ass Dell Precision M6700 with a Quadro K4000M 4GB, and with a +250 core & +300 mem OC (that SOMEHOW runs completely stable without thermal throttling) it performs very close to a GTX 675MX. Still nothing special, but hey it’s better than stock at least. Handles older PS3/360 era titles at 1080p like a champ, but anything newer than 2015 calls for 720p/900p mixed settings to hold a playable frame rate. It’s got an i7-3720QM & 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 to work with as well, so for a 10 year old “laptop”, it’s certainly not as bad as it could be. And it manages to handle my son’s Roblox & Minecraft shenanigans just fine, although a modern smartphone can play those just as good so still nothing to write home about. At the very least it’s still a decent machine to run older console emulators and PC exclusive programs on 😅

Thanks!

One thing as a person who uses a quadro to game dont let it get hot the games will intentionally crash or run extremely slow use msi after burner to manually adjust the fan until you keep it in the 70 degree range I learned it the hardware games would be running at 60 or higher fps at ultra 4k then all of sudden 20fps

Well, 15 FPS was what the Star Wars Rebel Assault games ran back in the day as a max framerate. Playable is a very relative term.

Would be nice if fsr worked on Kepler. My Titan would be doing a little better

As if kill Kryzzp pal Jack 😢😭🙈🤦🤦‍♀. You’re on his hit list now!

Reject modernity, embrace tradition.

noo you shouldn't kill Jack, you should kill Bob lol

Did you try RimWorld, Battlefield V, Doom 2016, Stardew Valley and Borderlands 3 those will run. Rimworld will run smooth cause the game runs like ur rendering in Adobe.

BIOS flashing is a thing now with Nvidia GPUs. I wonder what would happen if you flashed a 650 ti BIOS to it. I know there's potential for bricking the card, but if it works, you could get to 650 ti clock speeds, at least if the quadro can handle the heat.

The quadro K4000 performs slightly below a GTX750ti or RX550

Yes it can many use t400 , t600 , t1000 in MFS and DCS.
Those are good for cheap set-ups.

Try out the k2200 it's slightly better than the gt 1030. And its normally under 50 usd.

it's too bad CDPR removed the original upscaler Cyberpunk 2077 had, it was Fidelity FX sharpening at first with a custom resolution slider, then became FSR 1, and finally FSR 2.
They should have kept them all in, if you're curious which version last had FSR 1, it was version 1.6.
Currently downloading a copy to save for testing purposes.

I use HD7870 Ghz Edition from time to time, still good for everything I do, got it overclocked and undervolted.

In this regard, I think the naming schemes of workstation, server GPUs are so messy it gets confusing. Why not NV copy AMD’s way of naming workstation and server products? I mean RTX workstation should be called GeForce Pro S, eg., GeForce Pro S4090, with S stands for Studio. For Server products focusing on remote cloud compute, cloud gaming, and cloud workstation, call it GeForce Pro C, eg., GeForce Pro C4080, with C stands for Cloud with the same spec as desktop workstation. For laptops, call it GeForce M and GeForce Pro M (mobile laptop) ending, eg., GeForce RTX 5080M Ti, GeForce Pro S5070M, GeForce RTX 5080Q (thin and light, Max-Q). The server for FP64 and AI, call it new lineup of Tensor accelerators, starting with letter T. Formerly H100, the successor should be called T100, T250Z (zwei = dual chip MCM). For CPU, call it Tegra for consumer and workstation and Zonda for servers.

Got one of those. Got a 2nd hand HP workstation for Assetto Corsa, the game would crash if I post processing is enabled in Contant Manager. Swapped by a Radeon 470, just for the 60 PFS 1080 with the settings I wanted to use.

Those Lenovo P500 series were really beautiful machines

so basically it can play everything up to 2013. i wonder how it compares to other 30quid gpus

HOLY CRAP, I WAS JUST THINKING OF GETTING THIS CARD A FEW DAYS AGO!

I have an LGA 775 I've considered upgrading, but will go for the K4000 instead of the K2200 for Windows XP compatiblity.

Edit: The K2000 offers GTX 285 performance with twice the VRAM and a fourth of the TDP so I'll pick that one

Good video. I miss single slot full sized video cards.

Kepler ?... No.

Maxwell ?... Okay, I guess so.

Dude what the heck I literally got this for my sister's OptiPlex she got for school. Never thought I'd see it here lol

You should add immortals of aveum to benchmarks, it is a native unreal engine 5 game that is this generations "can it run crysis"

still one of my favorite tech yters! Straightforward and entertaining! Keep it up!

Why don't you test battle bit remaster on bottom of the barrel gpu?

I love your videos! Do you have a community discord server?

I was actually looking for this lmao
Also big thanks for testing Overwatch 2!

I play my games on a laptop with a quadro. It is a P3200 6GB I have. Runs everything I need it to, and when it becomes obsolete, I can use a thunderbolt 3 egpu.

The CPU in my machine is an Intel Xeon E-2176M (about equivalent to the 8th gen mobile i9s)

also mountain lion hunting? really?

Iceberg scratches my itch for weird old hardware. Newest hardware has gotten too stagnant and boring.

I love a good juicy Quadro video me 💪💪 PS my P510 came with 2 x 6+2 PCIe power 😅

I have a Quadro K5200 which is similar but much much better.

During the GPU shortage I needed a semi-modern Nvidia GPU to mess around with NVENC (at the time I only had access to an RX 5700 and R7 260X), so I bought a Quadro P400 on eBay. It did what I needed on the video encoding side, but I was surprised to find that it underperformed the iGPU in an R5 2400G in most areas.

I found that the Vega 11 graphics outperformed the P400 by ~30-50% on average... and the 2400G was handicapped with 2400MT/s RAM!!

The slow rise in popularity for easy to run games is nice. I hope we get an optimization renaissance with people playing lower req games and shunning modern AAA slop.

bro that song on the begining of the video hits hard XD

Heck recently I was stuck with a 4th gen i3 laptop as I wasn't at home I had to majorly drop my elitists views i ended up playing fallout nv on lowest settings 720p it worked and honestly after a few hours in it wasn't even that bad it held a steady 30 with the odd spike

Not really the m4000 can be clocked to 1304 on the core with the right cooler on it. The Kepler based k4000 hits it's limits around 1100..that and the memory clock is significantly less. I own both and the 3gb limit with only dx11 really kill any potential it might have had here in 2023

Unturned is hella fun, and has been around for quite a few years! It's Roblox (or BBR) x DayZ.

Geforce 210 | Can it game? 😂

Kepler returns... Well, returns in a Lovecraft reanimator sense.

I suppose as you said you could do worse but uhh.... Not much these days lol

average unturned experience

Good one as always....
Can you test RX 550 2GB too ?

Don't tell anyone, but back in the day, shady devs studios would buy consumer cards and flash them to appear as quadros so they would work with legitimate (cough cough) versions of 3dsmax etc ;)

I have the exact same Quadro. I got it in a HP Z420, looking to make a video on it too at some point👀 Great video as always mate!

DOOM is back! 😃 Thank you.

wallpaper link please

A good graphic for indies and games from 2015-2016 and below, with that it is more than enough if you get it for less than $20
