Quadro FX 880M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro FX 880M is the compact sibling of the FX 2800M — the same 2010 Tesla generation, in a 35W part for 15-inch workstations. This guide covers its 11 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p and its single catalog host.

Where the FX 880M sits in 2026

The composite reads it at the #332-333 line of 341 (score 0.6, the record's two ranking views one place apart). The neighbors: HD 7310 (#330, 0.6), HD 6480G (#331, 0.6) and Mobility HD 5470 (#332, 0.6) above; the HD 6470M (#334, 0.5), GT 230M (#335, 0.5) and NVS 3100M (#336, 0.5) below. Bottom-ten company, bracketed by budget parts two years its junior.

What the chip brings

The record lists 48 CUDA cores, 1GB of GDDR3, a 35W envelope and 0.12 TFLOPS. Public benchmark: PassMark 237. Note the efficiency arithmetic of the era: the same 48-core class as the GT 230M, at 35 watts against the GeForce's 23 — professional certification was paid for in heat.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: legacy ceilings (CS:GO/Overwatch 240, GTA V/PUBG 140), Valorant 27, Dota 2 10, The Witcher 3 6, Forza Horizon 4 4, Counter-Strike 2 2, Fortnite 2, Cyberpunk 2077 1 — the same shared baseline the neighboring 2009-11 records carry, frame for frame.

Laptops that carry it

One host: an EliteBook 8540w listing at $167. The listing's year reads 2015 — five years after this part shipped — so treat that date as the seller's, not the chip's: the 8540w generation belongs to 2010, and the record keeps the chip's own 2010 vintage.

Bottom line

The FX 880M is the little sibling of the workstation museum: 48 certified cores that once drove CAD viewports, now a bottom-ten ranking and one listing. As a buy it makes sense only as a cheap, solid 15-inch workstation chassis — with expectations set by the table above, not the EliteBook badge.
