Pros & cons summary


Recency 24 December 2010 11 November 2008
Maximum RAM amount 1 GB 1536 MB
Chip lithography 40 nm 55 nm
Power consumption (TDP) 62 Watt 150 Watt

Quadro 2000 has an age advantage of 2 years, a 37.5% more advanced lithography process, and 141.9% lower power consumption.

Quadro CX, on the other hand, has a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Quadro 2000 and Quadro CX.
