Quadro K2100M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The NVIDIA Quadro K2100M is the middle rung of the 2013 Kepler workstation generation — the era when professional mobile graphics still shipped with Fermi-derived feature sets and modest memory budgets. This guide covers its 22 benchmarked games at 1080p on high and the four catalog machines that carry it.

Where the Quadro K2100M sits in 2026

A catalog score of 3.9 ranks it 283rd of 341 — the bottom fifth. The neighbors: the GeForce 920M (4.6), Iris Graphics 5100 (4.5) and Radeon R9 M375X (4.2) above; the generic Iris record (3.8), Radeon 550X (3.6) and UHD Graphics 610 (3.4) below. Kepler workstation silicon now scores beside entry integrated graphics — thirteen years of progress compressed into one ranking row.

What the chip brings

Kepler architecture, GK106S codename, 28nm process: 576 CUDA cores boosting to 667MHz, rated at 0.77 teraflops, with 2GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus at 48GB/s, a 55W envelope and CUDA flagged. Public benchmarks: PassMark 1372, Fire Strike 1606, GeekBench Vulkan 4343 and OpenCL 4620. The card's professional era — CAD certification, OpenGL viewports of the early 2010s — is long past; the hardware itself is simply old.

FPS in games at 1080p

The table has a narrow playable band: Valorant at 45 fps, GRID Autosport 40, DOTA 2 30, Dirt Rally 25, Fortnite 18, Shadow of Mordor 17, Forza Horizon 4 16, Anno 2205 14 — plus the capped quartet at its 240/140 ceilings. Below that, the modern block is uniformly closed: Battlefield 5 and Counter-Strike 2 at 12, The Witcher 3 9, Far Cry 5 9, Forza Horizon 5 8, Cyberpunk 2077 7, Metro Exodus 6, Resident Evil 4 remake 4. Low-settings older titles are the working set; nothing current is.

Laptops that carry it

Four listings match — the strongest Kepler-era workstation roster in this batch: Dell Precision M4800 (2014) at $221, HP ZBook 15 G2 (2014) at $213, ZBook 15 G1 (2013) at $172 and ThinkPad W540 (2013) at $264. These were serious work platforms in their day, overbuilt and well-documented. Fleet medians (best-GPU 3.9 pinned to the chip, gaming index 15, USComp 33) describe capable-for-2013 machines whose graphics have since stood still.

Bottom line

The K2100M completes this catalog's Kepler workstation ladder (the K1100M and K5100M have their own pages), and its verdict matches the family's: the graphics are obsolete, the machines are not entirely. A $172-264 ZBook 15 or ThinkPad W540 with a good keyboard and screen remains serviceable as a light-duty laptop; the GPU adds legacy-OpenGL support and little else. Buyers should price these as typing machines with a professional heritage, and expect the game table above — capped quartet plus a thin band of 2013-2015 titles — to be the honest gaming ceiling.
