Quadro P3200: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro P3200 is NVIDIA's 2018 upper-mid professional GPU — Pascal silicon with 6GB of memory in a 75W envelope, the workhorse tier of the big-chassis workstation generation. This guide covers its 16 benchmarked games at 1080p on the high preset and the 2 catalog models that carry it.

Where the Quadro P3200 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 53.2 ranks it 111th of 341 — the top third. The neighbors: the Apple M1 Ultra (54.1), Quadro RTX 3000 Laptop (53.5) and GTX 1650 desktop-class record (53.3) above; the Apple M3 Max (52.6), Quadro P4000 (52.3) and RTX 3050 Ti Laptop (52.3) below. Sharing a neighborhood with its RTX successor (the RTX 3000 Laptop) and Apple's Max-series chips is solid placement for 2018 professional silicon.

What the chip brings

Pascal on 16nm, GP104 die: 1792 CUDA cores boosting to 1543MHz, 6GB of GDDR5 on a 192-bit bus with 168GB/s, 75W envelope, 5.5 teraflops, CUDA support. Public benchmarks: PassMark 8513, Time Spy 4356, Fire Strike 12555, compute at 33777 (Vulkan) and 33960 (OpenCL). In the P-ladder it sits between the P4200 flagship (54.1, covered separately) and the smaller P-cards — the balanced rung.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: Valorant at 150, 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. The heavy tier: Cyberpunk 2077, the Resident Evil 4 remake and Metro Exodus at 45 each — playable at high with a settings pass. A complete mid-high table from professional silicon.

Laptops that carry it

Two listings, both 2018 17-inch flagships: the Dell Precision 7730 at $495 and HP ZBook 17 G5 at $392. Fleet medians: best-CPU 57.6, gaming index 56.5, mobility 12 — the graphics median (53.6) sits essentially at this chip. Notably, the ZBook 17 G5 also appears as the sole host of the stronger Quadro P4200 elsewhere in this catalog — same chassis, two GPU rungs, so shoppers should read the option row carefully.

Bottom line

The P3200 is the value tier of used 17-inch workstations: P4200-class gaming ability for $392-495, with certified drivers and 6GB of VRAM in the deal. The game table clears 1080p high nearly everywhere. For buyers who want the big-chassis workstation bundle — build, keyboard, panel — with real graphics inside, this rung is the sweet spot of the P-generation.
