Quadro K4100M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Quadro K4100M is a Kepler-era professional GPU from 2013, benchmarked here across 19 games at 1080p on the high preset, with a single workstation model in the catalog carrying it. This guide covers what the chip still delivers and where it sits in a ranking now dominated by integrated graphics.

Where the Quadro K4100M sits in 2026

A catalog score of 14.6 places it 233rd of 341 — the lower third of the table. Look at its neighbors and the story is blunt: the Iris Plus 645 (15.5), GeForce MX570 A (15.2) and Radeon Vega 8 (14.8) above, the Vega 10 (14.2), UHD Graphics (14.1) and Radeon 530 (13.9) below. Every one of those is an integrated GPU from a thin-and-light. A 2013 professional accelerator now performs like the graphics built into ordinary office laptops — which is exactly what a decade of progress looks like.

What the chip brings

The K4100M is 28nm Kepler silicon: 1152 CUDA cores, 4GB of GDDR5, a 100W envelope and 1.6 teraflops of peak throughput. Public benchmarks remember it fondly relative to its score: PassMark 2768, Fire Strike 3654, with compute scores of 7058 (Vulkan) and 9061 (OpenCL) — the professional driver stack and CUDA support were its reasons to exist, not raw gaming speed.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table is era-appropriate. The legacy capped quartet — CS:GO, Overwatch, GTA V, PUBG — sits at its 240/140 ceilings, and F1 2014 runs at 133 fps. Below that the drop is steep: Valorant at 70, Dirt Rally at 67, DOTA 2 at 50, Counter-Strike 2 at 30 and Forza Horizon 4 at 30. Modern titles tell the honest truth: The Witcher 3 at 18, Battlefield 5 at 27, Far Cry 5 at 21, and Cyberpunk 2077 at 14 fps. Esports classics remain playable; anything from this decade does not.

Laptops that carry it

Exactly one catalog listing carries the K4100M: the Dell Precision M6800, a 2014 17-inch mobile workstation offered at $352. Its catalog profile reflects the age of the platform — a best-CPU score of 47, gaming index 30 and mobility index 6 describe a heavy, older machine. For buyers of used workstations it is the classic bundle: rugged chassis, professional GPU, era-typical performance.

Bottom line

The K4100M is a buy-for-the-chassis, not-for-the-GPU proposition in 2026. Its CUDA capability and 4GB buffer still handle light professional workloads, and the capped legacy titles run fine, but its ranking among modern integrated graphics says the rest. If a Precision M6800 lands at the right price for its CPU, screen and build, treat the K4100M as a capable display adapter with a gaming past — nothing more.
