Quadro P3000: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro P3000 (Laptop) is the middle rung of NVIDIA's 2017 Pascal workstation ladder — below the P4000 and P5000 this catalog's other pages cover, above the P2000 class. 16 games are benchmarked at 1080p, and two catalog models match: the classic 17-inch workstation pair.

Where the P3000 sits in 2026

The composite score of 42.8 ranks #150 of 341 — between the GTX 1650 Max-Q (43.6), Apple M2 Pro (43.4) and Apple M5 (43.0) above, and the Quadro T600 (42.2), GeForce RTX 5050 (41.3) and Apple M2 (41.1) below. Mid-lower table for a chip whose real job was viewport work — the game rows below are the after-hours bonus.

What the chip brings

The record lists 6 GB of GDDR5, a 75 W envelope and a 14 nm Pascal process. Public entries: PassMark 6,325 and Time Spy 2,864. CUDA is supported; no DLSS in this generation.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: CS:GO and Overwatch at 240, GTA V and PUBG at 140, Valorant at 120, Dota 2 at 95, Counter-Strike 2 and Fortnite at 85, Battlefield 5 at 65, The Witcher 3 at 63, Forza Horizon 4 at 60, Far Cry 5 at 50, Forza Horizon 5 at 45, and Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 4 Remake and Metro Exodus at 30. The top half plays well; the heavy third sits at the 30-line — playable with settings lowered.

Laptops that carry it

Two hosts: the HP ZBook 17 G4 (2017, $447) and Dell Precision 7720 ($390). Note that the 7720 chassis also appears with the P4000 and P5000 in this catalog — buyers shopping that Dell platform are choosing between GPU rungs, and the P3000 is the value rung of the three.

Bottom line

The P3000 is the budget workstation sweet spot of its ladder: $390–$447 buys a 17-inch certified machine with 6 GB Pascal graphics, strong esports performance and a heavy-title table that manages 30 FPS at 1080p high. For CAD-light and viewport duty plus casual play, it is the rational pick over its pricier siblings — and this catalog's P4000/P5000 pages let you price the upgrade before committing.
