Pros: Only takes one PCI-e slot.
Good price for a Quadro of these specs.
Drives two 4k monitors with no apparent lags. Cons: Had to wait for it to be released (shouldn’t be a problem now).
Slightly concerned about reliability from a single card dissipating 120w–no problems so far. Overall Review: Does everything I have asked it to do well: PCB design and layout, Home Designer, general graphics (no games).
System: Asrock x99 WS, Xeon E5-1650, 64gb Samsung DDR4 ECC (4x16gb), Quadro M4000, Intel 750 1.2TB PCI-ex 3.0 SSD, Corsair Hx850i PS, Noctua MH-D14 cooler, Corsair Air540 case, 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB disks, 2x Acer CB280HK monitors

Pros: Better day to day performance than the K4200. Price wasnt any more than the k4200 either.
Works great with the following CAD apps:
CATIA
Solidworks
SolidCam
MasterCam
UG/NX Cons: none Overall Review: Don’t cheap out on the GPU for CAD workstations or you will regret it. This is about as low as you should go for a daily heavy 3D cad user.

Pros: Haven’t heavily utilized 3D-modeling or video editing apps yet, but in everything else it works perfectly. Handles anything I throw at it with ease and though I was worried about heat dissipation, temps seem to be fine. I run 4k res on everything and I haven’t noticed any lag. Cons: Not really a con but being new and a workstation card, not everything recognizes it properly, including some applications and monitoring software. Still, have hardly had any issues with that. Also somewhat disappointed by the lack of an HDMI port, though an adapter works fine.

Pros: New machine with Windows 10, and Quadro M4000. No problems using applications like Polyworks, Geomagic Design X, 3dsMax, Rhino, Autocad, etc. Cons: Haven’t found any yet
Luis C. –
Pros: Runs 3 screens at 4K NO PROBLEM. Am able to do all my work fast and efficiently even on GPU heavy programs. Cons: None

Pros: Got this card to create very large, intricate assemblies in SolidWorks. It has made my life so much easier 🙂 Cons: None so far Overall Review: Check to make sure this card is certified for your intended application, that may be why there are some disappointing comments (or update yer drivers). If you want to play video games, look at the GEFORCE series.

Pros: Specifically wanted NVIDIA CUDA for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. This is a well fabricated graphics card. I experienced no problems locating and downloading NVIDIA drivers. NVIDIA and PNY websites are fine with me. The NVIDIA control panel application is well done, flexible and applicable to my CAD and video work.
After installing the physical card and loading the drivers “Adobe Premiere Pro CS6” did not employ this graphics card as a CUDA GPU (Adobe’s Mercury Engine). This is not a problem it is a computer. For others experiencing this issue I offer the following solution:
Located in the default directory “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Pro CS6\” the utility “gpusniffer.exe” should be found. I ran this utility via the command console (cmd.exe). The following is the report:

CUDA Device 0 –
Name: Quadro M4000
Capability: 5.2
Driver: 8
Total Video Memory: 8192MB
Not chosen because it did not match the named list of cards
Notice the “GPU Computation Info” states the name of this card is “Quadro M4000” and the last line refers to a “named list of cards”. This list is the text file “cuda_supported_cards.txt” located in the same sub-directory. Open this text file with an editor such as “Notepad” and add “Quadro M4000”. Done correctly the “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)” option should be active in the “Project Settings” of “Adobe Premiere Pro”.
This following comparison you may find informative:
Using a short 7-minute 28-second, 720×480 video production rendering at “Max Render Depth” and MAX Render Quality” I rendered without CUDA and with CUDA.
WITHOUT CUDA
Total rendering time = 2-minutes, 48-seconds, utilizing between 80%-90% of a Xeon E5-1650 v3 CPU.
WITH CUDA
Total rendering time = 41-seconds, utilizing 27% of the CPU while off-loading to a maximum 77% usage of the Quadro M4000 graphics card.
A final comment on “Display Port” to “HDMI” accommodations:
In the past with other graphics cards I tried a few adaptors with none providing audio to the monitor. The following is a single-cable solution that works for my hardware configuration. This cable is available in various lengths.

William J. –
Pros: None I can find and I love to try and blow up my computer rendering and working with large models . Latest software really starting to tap into the CUDA cores Cons: Not for playing games – it is for making money Overall Review: This thing makes 4k work like butter – just swapped out this morning for a few hours during maintenance and put in my Quadro K420 for fun and yucks which does run one 4k monitor plus a Div-x port fine but for example rendering out of Premier takes 400-600% longer. The M4000 usually renders 4k video with moderate effects in less time then the actual length and I NEVER see lag in my preview even in full screen mode. I have left the K420 in and am going to see if I can shave more time off of renders – will update…. no help…
