NVIDIA Quadro P2000 vs HP NVIDIA Quadro K1200 4GB T/SFF Graphics Cards… — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict first, then the specs side by side.

Our verdict

NVIDIA Quadro P2000 is our pick.

For nearly any modern workstation, media, or light-compute task in 2026, the Quadro P2000 is the better card — its 5GB of GDDR5 on a 160-bit bus clocked at 3500 MHz dwarfs the K1200's 4GB of 667 MHz DDR3, and the Pascal architecture is two generations newer than the K1200's Maxwell silicon.

Buy the Quadro P2000 if you want a single-slot, no-external-power professional card with real GDDR5 bandwidth, 4x DisplayPort multi-monitor output up to 5K, and a 3-year warranty for CAD, NVENC video, or light CUDA work. Buy the HP Quadro K1200 if you need the absolute cheapest renewed card to drive a quiet 4-monitor small-form-factor or SFF office build and you do not care about compute throughput.
