Graphics Performance

The Quadro M4000M scores 6,148 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: GM204), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1,280 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 80 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 2.496 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1013 MHz from a base of 975 MHz.
