Graphics Performance
The Quadro K4000 scores 2,719 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler (2012−2018) architecture (codename: GK106), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 768 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 64 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 24 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.244 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
