    I have no experience with Quadro cards. Games will still recognize it has a dedicated graphics card, right? I heard it's similar to the GTX 1060. True? Anyone here with a Quadro P3200 can comment on the gaming capabilities of this card? Thanks

    Theoretically it is faster due to having the same memory bus and higher cuda core count, but the P3200 is a Quadro and the core isn't clocked as aggressively as a GTX and the memory is 1GHz slower.

    Take into account that the Quadro cannot be overclocked (at least, that's my experience with the P5000 on the P71) and workstation laptops usually have worse cooling compared to gaming laptops (exception the clevo with quadro and MSi WT series) the performance of the P3200 is around or lower than a GTX1060 75w (normal TDP for notebook).

    Going by techpowerup:

    P3200: 1792 CUDA Cores @ 1228Mhz (Boost)

    GTX 1060: 1280 CUDA Cores @ 1670Mhz (Boost)

    P3200 has 40% more cores than 1060.

    1060 is clocked ~36%+ than P3200.

    1060 has 1Ghz faster memory.

    They should perform very similar.

    The P4200 and P5200 are the more interesting cards, but if you already have P3200, you should be able to play games around similar FPS as 1060.

    The P3200 is quite potent for gaming. If you have a 1080P monitor you should be able to play almost all games on maxed or near maxed settings no problem.
