HP 801195-002 NVIDIA Quadro K1200 4GB Graphics Card (Renewed)

The HP 801195-002 is a low-profile variant of NVIDIA's Quadro K1200, built on the Maxwell GM107 die with 512 CUDA cores, 4GB of GDDR5 memory, and a 128-bit memory bus delivering approximately 80 GB/s of bandwidth. That bandwidth figure is the card's primary architectural ceiling — sufficient for professional CAD viewport rendering, multi-monitor desktop workloads, and light content creation, but not for memory-intensive GPU compute or large scene GPU rendering. The 45W TDP is the card's most strategically significant specification: it enables full workstation-GPU functionality with no supplemental power connector, making it one of the few options that physically fits and electrically works inside SFF workstation chassis like the HP Z240 SFF or similar Dell Precision compact platforms.

This card targets the professional who needs ISV-certified driver support for AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or CATIA in a machine that cannot physically or electrically support a larger GPU. The four DisplayPort outputs — each driving up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz — make it a practical choice for multi-monitor trading, financial analysis, or engineering review stations where screen real estate matters more than raw compute throughput. As a renewed unit, it represents a cost-effective path to Quadro-class driver stability without full new-card pricing. Buyers should note the Maxwell-generation hardware boundary: no hardware ray tracing, no Tensor cores, and no NVENC from this era — this is a precision visualization card, not a modern compute or media-encoding platform.
