About the NVIDIA Quadro K4100M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K4100M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2013 with a MSRP of $1,499. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K4100M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 102.4 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 K4100M includes 1,152 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 706 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 706 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The K4100M has the 273rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.82% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 4,957 score and $1,499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 3.31. This is the 114th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2025 with a MSRP of $549. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GB205) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 5070 has 12 GB of GDDR7 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 672 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 RTX 5070 includes 6,144 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,325 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,512 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 192 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 192 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 48 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 5070 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1b display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 5070 has the 14th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 55.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 71,642 score and $549 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 130.5. This is the 7th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
