Quadro P3200 Max-Q: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro P3200 with Max-Q Design is the efficiency-labeled record of NVIDIA's 2017 mid-tier Pascal pro chip — sibling to the standard P3200 record and neighbor in rank to the P4200 pair. 16 games are benchmarked at 1080p, and two catalog models match: the Dell Precision 7730 and HP ZBook 17 G5.

Where the P3200 Max-Q sits in 2026

The composite score of 54.2 ranks #106 of 341 — sandwiched between the RTX 2050 (55.2), the P4200 Max-Q (54.8) and the RX 5600M (54.5) above, and the standard P4200 (54.1), Apple M1 Ultra (54.1) and Quadro RTX 3000 (53.5) below. It sits one place above the full P4200 record — the Pascal pro records cluster this tightly, which says more about sample variance than about designed differences. The standard P3200 record ranks #111.

What the chip brings

The record lists 6 GB of GDDR5, 1,792 cores, a 75 W envelope, a 14 nm process and 5.5 TFLOPS. Public entries: PassMark 8,508, Time Spy 4,356, Fire Strike 12,555, GeekBench Vulkan 35,624 and OpenCL 36,605. CUDA is supported.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: CS:GO and Overwatch at 240, Valorant at 150, GTA V and PUBG at 140, Dota 2 at 119, Counter-Strike 2 at 110, Fortnite at 100, Forza Horizon 4 at 95, Battlefield 5 at 85, The Witcher 3 at 84, Far Cry 5 at 79, Forza Horizon 5 at 65, and Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 4 Remake and Metro Exodus all at 45. Esports and mid-tier titles play well; the heaviest three rows are below the comfort line at high preset — drop settings for those.

Laptops that carry it

Two hosts, the classic 2018 17-inch workstation pair: the Dell Precision 7730 at $495 and the HP ZBook 17 G5 at $392 — the latter also carrying the P4200 records in this catalog. Buyers shopping that HP chassis are choosing between rungs of the same platform: P3200 at 6 GB or P4200 at 8 GB, with the prices here showing how affordable both have become.

Bottom line

The P3200 Max-Q is the budget workstation value point of this ladder: a $392–$495 17-inch pro chassis with 6 GB Pascal graphics, solid esports and mid-tier frame rates, and a certified driver pedigree. The honest limits: the three heaviest modern titles sit at 45 FPS at 1080p high, and there is no DLSS generation to rescue them. For viewport work plus after-hours play at sensible settings, the price is hard to beat.
