Quadro P4000: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The NVIDIA Quadro P4000 is the upper-mid rung of the 2017 Pascal workstation generation — 1792 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR5 in a 100W envelope. This guide covers its 23 benchmarked games at 1080p and the single catalog machine that carries it.

Where the Quadro P4000 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 52.3 ranks it 113th of 341 — just inside the top third. The neighbors: the GeForce GTX 1650 (53.3), Quadro P3200 (53.2) and Apple M3 Max (52.6) above; the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop (52.3) at the same score, with the GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q (52) and Apple M5 Pro (51.9) below. Level with a 2021 entry RTX card and Apple's flagship-integrated tier — a respectable landing for 2017 professional silicon.

What the chip brings

Pascal architecture on the 16nm process: 1792 CUDA cores rated at 5.3 teraflops, 8GB of GDDR5, a 100W envelope and CUDA flagged. Public benchmarks: PassMark 11415, GeekBench Vulkan 41750 and OpenCL 41334. The 8GB buffer was generous for the class and keeps the card viable for viewport work and texture-heavy older titles in 2026.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table is remarkably even for its age: Valorant at 180 fps, Counter-Strike 2 at 150, DOTA 2 and Fortnite at 130, Battlefield 5 and Forza Horizon 4 at 100, GRID Autosport 97, Doom 91, Far Cry 5 90, Star Wars Battlefront 89 — capped quartet at its ceilings. The modern block holds up better than most 2017 cards: Forza Horizon 5 at 85, The Witcher 3 at 77, Resident Evil 4 remake 65, Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus at 60 on high. This is a genuine 1080p-high card across a decade of releases.

Laptops that carry it

One catalog listing matches: the Dell Precision 7720 (2016) at $390 — the 17-inch flagship workstation that also hosts this card's bigger sibling (the P5000 has its own record on this catalog). The listing's median best-GPU score of 58.2 reflects that stronger option; the gaming index of 80 describes the platform, not this chip alone. A single-listing roster, but the right machine: a big, cool-running chassis that lets a 100W card work as designed.

Bottom line

The P4000 inside a $390 Precision 7720 is one of the quietly best used-workstation deals this catalog surfaces: 8GB of VRAM, a game table that clears 1080p high in everything short of the very newest titles, and Pascal's proven reliability in a chassis built to hold it. Against its own sibling the split is clean — the P4000 here, the P5000 with double the memory for heavier scenes — and both live in the same machine. For CUDA work on a budget plus honest after-hours gaming, this record earns its recommendation.
