A recent video by a YouTuber has demonstrated that NVIDIA's Quadro M4000, a professional graphics card from 2015 based on the Maxwell architecture, can run Cyberpunk 2077 at nearly 60 frames per second when overclocked. The card, typically used for workstation tasks, was pushed beyond its stock settings to achieve this performance.
The Quadro M4000 features 8GB of VRAM and was originally designed for CAD and other professional applications. The YouTuber's tests showed that with an overclock, the card can handle the demanding game at 1080p resolution with medium settings, though specific frame rates varied by scene.
This result highlights the potential of older, used workstation GPUs for budget gaming, though users should note that overclocking may void warranties and increase power consumption. The video has sparked interest among PC enthusiasts looking for affordable alternatives to gaming-specific cards.
