NVIDIA Quadro P620 Specifications
Here are the key specs for the Quadro P620:
Of course, with only 2GB of memory and 512 Pascal generation CUDA cores this is nowhere near the specifications of many of the higher-end graphics cards we have reviewed. That is precisely the point. At under 40W it is nowhere near as power-hungry requiring a large cooler like many other GPUs we reviewed.
With 2GB of GDDR5 onboard memory, that is half the amount of memory of the AMD Radeon PRO WX 4100. For some, the ability to use CUDA is a feature itself over the AMD offerings as GPU compute becomes more ubiquitous.
Testing the NVIDIA Quadro P620
Here is our test configuration for the NVIDIA Quadro P620:
• Motherboard: ASUS WS C621E SAGE Motherboard
• CPU: 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6134 (8 core / 16 Threads)
• GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P620
• Cooling: Noctua NH-U14S DX-3647 LGA3647
• RAM: 12x MICRON 16GB Low Profile
• SSD: Samsung PM961 1TB
• OS: Windows 10 Pro Workstation.
Here is the obligatory GPU-Z shot of the NVIDIA Quadro P620:
GPU-Z shows the primary stats of our testing the Quadro P620. The GPU clocks in at 1266 MHz and Memory speed at 1266 MHz. Pixel Fillrates run at 21.7 GPixels/s, and Texture Fillrate comes in at 43.3 GTexel/s.
Let us move on and start our testing with computing-related benchmarks.
Well, that isn’t very powerful is it. Maybe that’s the point? That 4 miniDP is why we use them in Xeon E-2100 systems to power dashboards. Onboard video sucks because you’ve got different connectors. When you’re powering four displays it’s nice to have one cable.
@brianmc that’s exactly the point, we recently did a build with a pair of p600’s(the immediate predecessor to this card less shaders slightly higher clock) because it needed to power 8 4k displays. Nothing fancy just plating video on it we just needed as small as possible(we used a 2u server case inside a 4u mobile rack with cables and such in the other 2u) and 8 displays. These were chosen over other options(like the 4100) due to our own bias and already having a p600
the p620 can handle 3-4 HD stream for home media server like plex ?
for now the best solution for home is the p2000 but it’s expensive for only homing use
@stefan marton NVENC on the P600(and therefore the P620 presumably)is offcially limited to 2 concurrent sessions as are all gpu’s below the P2000. Unofficall drivers may alter that and you can find details on some of that in the forum however out of the box the chip will stop at 2 streams regardless of how many it can actually handle.

@Daniel Smith thanks now i think to buy a p2000 with unraid i dont want to buy a 1050ti or 1060 and the fix stop to work and waste my money because a need 3-4 stream for home server
Despite having the name “Quadro” in it, this card may be too limited featurewise for certain tasks. For instance, the P600 does not support pass through (confirmed by an nvidia employee here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1025830/miscellaneous/error-code-43-after-install-quadro-p600/ )
I think this is true for the P620 as well. You can get that to work though. For instance, I had to switch to OVMF instead of using SeaBIOS
I too have used this Graphics card for a while and I am perfectly satisfied with the card as it is Low Profile, Low Power Graphics that is perfectly good going for me. If someone is looking for something for a small purpose and I would highly suggest them.
Using this card for video decoding of multiple streams to offload the cpu in a SFF pc. Old i7 intel went from 100% consumption to 30% and the p620 runs around 50% on decode consumption.
p600 supports pci passthrough with no issues on vsphere 6.7u3 to windows and ubuntu by editing the passthru.map with d3d0 https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/72ula0/tr1950x_gtx_1060_passthrough_with_esxi/
To unlock multiple streams just patch it. https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch
I use Quadro P620 on my SFF case and quite often I do 4K video encoding which pushes the temperature somewhere between 65-70 degree celsius and it gets little toasty. The ideal use case for these cards are mostly for multi display support unless you have a very good case with good cooling system. It’s a great card for any non-gaming machine.
p620 same price as wx4100, which one should i chose?
i using autocad and intericad – 2d and 3d rendering.
Dont know why but my p620 on idle is using 17w ???
and is a bit loud in idle fan is on 34%
my p620 also idles at 17watts, and 39°c with 30% fan speed. Power optimized doesn’t help at all in Nvidia control panel and power management. Do they use a different driver? Or it’s just because it’s always like that?
It’s says the power consumption of the whole graphics card so that includes the VRM and VRAM(GDDR5) running together. I still don’t understand though. I want the watts and temps of this review :<
