About NVIDIA Quadro K2200M
NVIDIA Quadro K2200M is a mobile workstation graphics solution built on the 28 nm Maxwell architecture, specifically the GM107 chip. It integrates 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs, operating at a fixed clock speed of 1150 MHz for both base and boost. The GPU is positioned for professional mobile use, packaged as an MXM Module with an MXM-A (3.0) bus interface, and its production status is end-of-life, with a release date of July 18, 2014.
Benchmark Performance
The K2200M occupies the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the benchmark database, placing it squarely in the middle of the performance distribution. This median standing indicates that the card delivers a balanced level of compute capability, neither excelling at the top tier nor falling into the lower echelons of mobile graphics solutions. The absence of any nearest rival data in the fact pack means direct percentage comparisons against specific competing models cannot be quantified; however, the percentile ranking provides a relative anchor point.
The raw computational output of the K2200M is defined by its FP32 performance of 1,472.0 GFLOPS. This figure represents the peak single-precision throughput, which is a critical metric for professional applications such as CAD, simulation, and scientific visualization. The card also achieves a pixel rate of 18.40 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 46.00 GTexel/s, driven by its 16 ROPs and 40 TMUs respectively. These rates indicate how quickly the GPU can fill framebuffers and apply texture maps, which are essential for rendering complex scenes in viewport environments.
Benchmark results indicate that the K2200M’s performance profile is consistent with its mid-pack percentile placement. The FP32 throughput of 1,472.0 GFLOPS, when contextualized against the 50th percentile standing, suggests that the card is capable of handling moderate professional workloads without significant bottlenecks. The fixed clock speed of 1150 MHz, with no boost variation, means that thermal and power constraints do not dynamically alter performance, offering predictable behavior under sustained load. For users migrating from the predecessor Quadro Fermi-M, the K2200M represents a generational leap in efficiency and raw compute, while the successor Quadro Maxwell-M would build upon this foundation.
Memory Subsystem
The K2200M is equipped with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, connected via a 128-bit bus interface. This configuration yields a memory bandwidth of 80.19 GB/s, a figure derived from the effective memory clock of 5 Gbps. The memory operates at a base clock of 1253 MHz, which translates to the 5 Gbps effective data rate through DDR techniques. For a mobile workstation, this memory subsystem is designed to balance capacity and bandwidth, providing sufficient headroom for 1080p and moderate 4K workloads.
The 128-bit bus width, while narrower than desktop high-end counterparts, is paired with the relatively modest 2 GB capacity. This combination is adequate for the target professional applications of the K2200M, but it does impose limitations at higher resolutions or when working with very large textures and datasets. At 4K resolution, the 80.19 GB/s bandwidth and 2 GB capacity can become constraining, particularly for applications that require large framebuffers or extensive texture streaming. The GDDR5 type ensures reasonable latency characteristics, though the overall memory subsystem is a clear middle-tier specification, aligning with the GPU’s 50th percentile performance class.
For high-resolution rendering, the data indicates that the K2200M can function, but users should anticipate potential performance dips when exceeding the memory capacity or saturating the bandwidth. The 80.19 GB/s figure is the definitive throughput limit, and any workload that demands more will cause the GPU to bottleneck. This is a typical trade-off for mobile GPUs of this era, where power and thermal envelopes constrain memory bus widths and capacities.
How It Compares
The fact pack lists no nearest rivals for the K2200M, so direct comparison against specific competing GPUs is not possible from the provided data. The percentile rank of 50, however, serves as a general indicator of its standing relative to the entire database of GPUs. This places the K2200M in a neutral position, where it is neither a high-end performer nor a budget-oriented solution, but rather a mainstream mobile option.
The predecessor and successor relationships provide some comparative context. The K2200M succeeds the Quadro Fermi-M, which implies an architectural advancement from Fermi to Maxwell. This generational shift typically brings improvements in performance-per-watt and feature support, though specific numerical deltas are not provided. The successor, Quadro Maxwell-M, represents the next step in the lineup, likely offering enhanced capabilities, but again, no quantified differences are available in the fact pack.
Given the absence of rival data, the K2200M should be evaluated on its own merits: a 65 W TDP, 640 shading units, and 1,472.0 GFLOPS of FP32 performance. These specifications define a card that is well-suited to portable workstations where power efficiency is paramount. The 65 W TDP is notably modest for a professional GPU, allowing for thinner and lighter laptop designs without the need for external power connectors. This positioning makes the K2200M a practical choice for professionals who require certified graphics performance on the go, rather than maximal compute power.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The K2200M is based on the Maxwell architecture, which predates dedicated ray tracing hardware. The fact pack explicitly lists null values for both RT cores and tensor cores, confirming that this GPU lacks specialized hardware for real-time ray tracing and AI-accelerated tensor operations. Consequently, any ray tracing workloads would be handled through compute shaders on the 640 shading units, resulting in substantially lower performance compared to dedicated RT implementations.
The feature set is instead defined by its API support: DirectX 12 (11_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The DirectX 12 support is limited to the 11_0 feature level, which means it does not expose the full DirectX 12 feature set available on newer hardware. OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4 provide broad compatibility with professional applications, which often rely on these APIs for CAD, DCC, and scientific visualization. The Vulkan 1.4 support is particularly notable, as it enables modern rendering techniques and efficient multi-threaded command submission.
The absence of tensor cores means that any AI-based features, such as deep learning super sampling or neural network inference, are not hardware-accelerated. The 1,870 million transistors on a 148 mm² die, manufactured on a 28 nm process at TSMC, provide a transistor density of 12.6M per mm². These figures indicate a mid-range chip design that prioritizes power efficiency over raw compute expansion. The K2200M’s display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," meaning the actual connectors vary by laptop implementation. This is consistent with its MXM Module form factor, which is designed for integration into mobile workstations rather than standalone desktop use.
