    Quadro cards are generally workstation cards, but people have had no problems playing games on them. This card has 4 pixel shaders, 3 vertex shaders and at core runs at 425 Mhz. But, it only has a 64-bit bus. I think its about comparable to a 7300, which isn't too powerful, but it can game on low settings. Hope this helps.
