About the NVIDIA Quadro K2100M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K2100M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2013. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK106S) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K2100M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 752 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 48.13 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The K2100M includes 576 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 667 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 667 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 55 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The K2100M has the 334th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.29% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2014. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 860M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80.19 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 860M includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,020 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,020 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 860M has the 250th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.69% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
