About NVIDIA Quadro K2200
The NVIDIA Quadro K2200 is a 28 nm GPU built around the GM107 chip, using the Maxwell architecture, and the fact pack places it in the Quadro Kepler (Kx200) generation segment. It contains 1,870 million transistors on a 148 mm² die, for a transistor density of 12.6M/mm². The core configuration includes 640 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, with listed rates of 1,438.7 GFLOPS FP32, 17.98 GPixel/s pixel fill, and 44.96 GTexel/s texture fill. Memory is 4 GB GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 80.19 GB/s bandwidth. The database shows an average benchmark score of 10,762, which puts the card in the 49th percentile of all GPUs. It is marked end-of-life, with a release date of 2014-07-21, and its listed predecessor and successor are Quadro Fermi and Quadro Maxwell.
Power and Cooling
The K2200 has a TDP of 68 W. The suggested PSU rating is 250 W, and the card lists no power connectors. That means the PCIe slot is the only power interface required, which simplifies installation in systems that lack auxiliary power cables. The card is single-slot, with a length of 202 mm (8 inches) and a height of 111 mm (4.4 inches). The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16, so the main compatibility requirements are a PCIe x16 slot, a single slot opening, and a 250 W-class power supply. The low TDP and lack of extra connectors make it a straightforward drop-in for a compact workstation build.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The K2200 has no RT cores and no tensor cores listed in the fact pack. Hardware ray tracing and tensor-accelerated workloads are therefore not part of the feature set in the data. API support is listed as DirectX 12 (11_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The DirectX 12 entry specifically carries the 11_0 feature level. For display output, the card provides 1x DVI and 2x DisplayPort 1.2 ports. The data does not list any additional compute-specific hardware blocks beyond the standard Maxwell shading, texture, and ROP units.
Who Should Consider It
With an average benchmark score of 10,762 and a 49th percentile rank, the K2200 sits just below the midpoint of all GPUs in the database. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 11,431, while its Geekbench Vulkan score is 10,092. For workloads that rely on OpenCL, the higher score is the relevant reference; for Vulkan-based compute, the lower score is the more realistic expectation. The memory configuration is 4 GB GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus with 80.19 GB/s bandwidth, which defines the available frame buffer and memory bandwidth envelope.
The database does not provide game-specific resolution or settings results, so concrete resolution guidance cannot be derived from this data. What the data does show is a card clustered within a small performance band around four nearest rivals, with average scores ranging from 10,589 to 10,828. The K2200 is therefore a reasonable candidate for systems where the workload matches its OpenCL or Vulkan throughput, where 4 GB of GDDR5 is sufficient, and where the power and slot requirements are intentionally modest. Because production status is end-of-life, it is best considered for legacy or niche installations rather than as a forward-looking platform.
How It Compares
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti has an average score of 10,715. The K2200 is 0.4% ahead of that score. This is effectively a tie in average benchmark terms, with the K2200 holding only a marginal edge.
The AMD Radeon Pro 450 has an average score of 10,828. The K2200 is 0.6% behind it. This is the only nearest rival in the fact pack that leads the K2200, and the margin is still very small.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600S has an average score of 10,625. The K2200 is 1.3% ahead. That is a modest but consistent lead over this rival.
The AMD Radeon RX 6500M has an average score of 10,589. The K2200 is 1.6% ahead. Among the four nearest rivals, this is the largest positive delta for the K2200.
Benchmark Performance
The K2200’s average benchmark score of 10,762 is accompanied by two listed Geekbench results: OpenCL at 11,431 and Vulkan at 10,092. The OpenCL result is the stronger of the two, which indicates that OpenCL compute is the card’s more favorable workload path in this dataset. The Vulkan result is lower, so Vulkan-based applications should be evaluated against the 10,092 figure rather than the OpenCL number.
At the 49th percentile, the K2200 sits just below the middle of the GPU distribution in the database. The deltaPct values against nearest rivals place it in a tight grouping: 0.4% above the GTX 560 Ti, 1.3% above the RX 6600S, 1.6% above the RX 6500M, and 0.6% below the Radeon Pro 450. The largest delta against any nearest rival is 1.6%, so these cards are close in average score. The difference between the K2200’s own OpenCL and Vulkan scores is larger than any of the differences between the K2200 and its nearest rivals, meaning API choice can matter more than which specific card in this bracket is used.
