Quadro P1000: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro P1000 is NVIDIA's entry-to-mid mobile workstation GPU from 2017 — Pascal architecture, certified drivers, and a 40W envelope that made it the default professional graphics option of the 2018 workstation generation. This guide covers its 30 benchmarked games at 1080p (9 with medium-preset data) and the 6 catalog models that carry it.

Where the Quadro P1000 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 31.8 ranks the P1000 at 169th of 341 — a hair below the table's midpoint. Its neighbors bracket it professionally and consumer-side: the Quadro M2200 (33.7), Radeon 660M (32.9) and Quadro P5200 Max-Q (31.9) above; the Quadro M3000M (31.7), GeForce GTX 1050 (31.3) and Iris Xe MAX (31.3) below. Sitting level with the GTX 1050 is no coincidence — same GP107 silicon family, same class of performance, sold with professional memory and validation instead of gaming clocks.

What the chip brings

The P1000 is a GP107-based Pascal design on the 14nm process: 640 CUDA cores, 4GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus with 96GB/s of bandwidth, a boost clock of 1392MHz, and a disciplined 40W envelope. Peak throughput is 1.56 teraflops, with PassMark at 4506, Time Spy at 1395 and Fire Strike at 4787 — entry-workstation numbers that translated into dependable certified OpenGL and CUDA performance for CAD-lite, GIS and development workloads.

FPS in games at 1080p

On the high preset, the P1000's table is competent rather than exciting: FIFA 19 at 100 fps (108 on medium) and Valorant at 100 lead, then Rocket League at 82 (124 on medium), DOTA 2 at 75, Fortnite at 65, Rainbow Six Siege at 63 and Counter-Strike 2 at 55. The heavier tier drops to the 40s and below: Battlefield 5 and Forza Horizon 4 at 45, Doom at 43, Far Cry 5 at 32, The Witcher 3 at 30, and Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus and the Resident Evil 4 remake all at 21 — playable for patient settings, not comfortable.

Laptops that carry it

Six listings, all from the same 2018 workstation wave: Dell's Precision 5530 ($326) and 7530 ($385); HP's ZBook Studio G5 ($325), ZBook 15 G5 ($333) and ZBook 17 G5 ($392); and Lenovo's ThinkPad P52 ($475). This is the same well-built chassis generation as the P2000 roster one rung up — the P1000 was its value graphics option. Roster medians (best-GPU score 39.2, gaming index 43) reflect those machines' stronger configuration options including the P2000 tier above this chip.

Bottom line

The P1000 remains a sensible heart for a budget used workstation: at $325–475, the 2018 Precision/ZBook/ThinkPad chassis around it are among the best-built machines in the catalog, and the chip supplies certified drivers, CUDA support and disciplined 1080p gaming at esports-and-older settings. The 4GB buffer and entry-tier throughput set honest limits — this is professional entry hardware, not a workstation flagship. For CAD-lite, development and occasional older games, it's a rational pick at current prices.
