Quadro P2000: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro P2000 is NVIDIA's 2017 mobile workstation GPU — Pascal architecture, certified drivers, and a 5GB memory configuration that made it the popular middle rung of the mobile professional ladder. This guide covers its 39 benchmarked games at 1080p (16 with medium-preset data), the 7 workstation models that carry it, and its standing in the 2026 used market.

Where the Quadro P2000 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 39.2 ranks the P2000 at 156th of 341 — mid-table with a professional pedigree. The neighbors frame it well: Apple's M2 (41.1), the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (40.8) and Quadro M5000M (40) above; the GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q (39), Radeon 760M (37.9) and Radeon 8060S (37.9) below. Sharing a neighborhood with the 1050 Ti is no coincidence — the P2000 delivered consumer-midrange speed with workstation memory and driver validation, which was exactly the point.

What the chip brings

The P2000 is a GP106-based Pascal design on the 16nm process: 1024 CUDA cores, a boost clock of 1480MHz, and that unusual 5GB of GDDR5 on a 160-bit bus delivering 140GB/s — a capacity-and-bandwidth combination aimed at professional datasets rather than gaming texture packs. The 75W envelope placed it in both thin and thick workstation chassis. Peak throughput is 3.03 teraflops, with PassMark at 7268 and Fire Strike at 6847 — solid numbers for a 2017 mobile part.

FPS in games at 1080p

Despite the professional brief, the P2000's high-preset table is genuinely playable across its era: Farming Simulator 17 at 162 fps, Fortnite at 144, Grand Theft Auto V and PUBG both at 140, Valorant at 130, Rocket League at 110 (164 on medium), DOTA 2 at 102 and Counter-Strike 2 at 95. Even Battlefield 5 holds 75 and Forza Horizon 4 runs at 70. The modern frontier requires expectations to shift: Doom at 60, Far Cry 5 at 47, The Witcher 3 at 38, and Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus and the RE4 remake all at 35 — smooth enough with a medium preset or a resolution drop.

Laptops that carry it

All 7 matched models are workstations from the 2018 refresh wave: Dell's Precision 5530 ($326) and 7530 ($385), HP's ZBook Studio G5 ($325), ZBook 17 G5 ($392) and ZBook Studio x360 G5 convertible ($609), Lenovo's ThinkPad P72 ($462) — plus a ThinkPad P1 Gen 1 listed at $459 from 2021. That's a tight cluster of well-engineered 15/17-inch professional machines now trading at $325–609, among the strongest value plays in the used workstation market.

Bottom line

The P2000 remains a rational buy in 2026 as the heart of a $325–500 used workstation: Pascal drivers are mature, the 5GB buffer still handles moderate CAD and content-creation workloads, and the gaming table above shows it holding 60-plus fps in popular titles of its era at high 1080p. Its limits are equally clear — no ray tracing, no modern upscaling, and a compute ceiling that heavier viewports will hit. For a budget CAD machine that doubles as a casual gaming rig, it's one of the better deals in the catalog.
