and the K2200 can go to the second z420, which is for graphic design. I have a Quadro K2200 in the z620 which is an analysis / simulation / renderin/g system, but that may well become a M2000 in a the Spring.

That's relativel y expensive, but would be suitable for professional use for longer than the other options and be transferrred to the next system. It also uses so little power it runs off the PCIe slot alone. The new Quadro M2000 (4GB)- $430 or so and Passmark = 4443, very similar to a Quadro K4200 - with 4434 but that cost $830 new and not that long ago. These are $160 or so new or used for $90-$100. , the excellent K620 (2GB) Passmark = 2276 and uses very littel power, producing very litle heat. If your budget is flexible there are two very good values for Quadros: A.
On Passmark, the average 3D mark for the Quadro 4000 is 1935 and the for the Quadro 5000- 2710.Ĥ. The performance of the 5000 is noticeably better as well. These days, instead of spending $65 on a Quadro 4000 cooler, consider selling the Quadro 4000, which are still desirable, and adding the sales value to the cooler and buying a Quadro 5000 (2.5GB) which does use a bit more power, but is a double height card, cooler and cosequently cooler running. The problem with the Quadro 4000 was that it is a single height card and a large volume of air can't be easily pushed out the back. If that is not sufficient, there were a couple of alternative cooling solutions, one was a an expensive water block- $150 or so, and the other- still available at $60-$70 new is the Gelid "Icy Vision" specifically for the Quadro 4000, though I think it fits whatever the GTX version of the 4000 was at the time also.ģ. I did that today on a z620 and the CPU temeratures that were 43-44C are now 37-38C.Ģ. if the z800 has a "Thermal" setting in BIOS that lets you advance the fan idle speed, change that up a few asterisks. First, try pepping up the z800 fans a bit. I've had two of them and during one long rendering session, the tempertature reached 102C- the card limit.
The brief answer to your query is that the Quadro 4000 is itself a very hot running graphics card. Thanks for any insights you might provide. Now the basic question: is everything OK here and the behavior of the card is the one I should expect and I simply misunderstood how it works, or is something actually wrong and I should do something to fix it? While the following image shows what's happening after a few minutes of AutoCAD basic drawing (just 2D design) For instance I noticed that Visual Studio installation program spikes the GPU usage as well (while the IDE itself does not produce this behavior).įor your reference, please find following an example of idle status of the machine: I noticed that this, strangely, also happens with some completely non-graphical related tasks. Even if I am not drawing at all, or just drawing very basic 2D object, the graphics card appears to be running at maximum capacity. Same thing for application like AutoCAD: as soon as I turn it on, it apparently commands the graphics card to immediately run at high clock rate.
I ended up disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome to avoid this very annoying behaviour. I understand that, obviously, the graphical card is generating heat under heavy load, but my issue is that it spike to max power for any kind of graphical computation.įor instance, just by browsing the internet, any webpage that has a small Flash animation or anything inside, will immediately spike the Q4000 to maximum clock, heat production and surely ventilation. The system is basically quiet and not very hot, but my issue is that everything I turn on any kind of graphical software, the system become immediately extremely loud and hot, due to the Quadro 4000 fan.
Quadro 4000 windows 10#
This machine is running Windows 10 圆4 Pro and it is equipped with a Nvidia Quadro 4000 graphics board. I am posting here to get understanding and possibly help for a strange behavior I have with my Z800 machine.
