Professional workstation GPU with 2.5GB GDDR5

The NVIDIA Quadro 5000 is a standard-height workstation graphics card built on a 320-bit memory interface with 2.5GB of GDDR5 memory. It connects via PCI Express 2.0 x16 and supports DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.4. Two DisplayPort outputs and one DVI connector drive displays up to 2560 x 1600 resolution. An onboard fan provides active cooling for professional workloads.

Suited for certified professional applications

This card targets users running certified ISV applications that rely on Quadro drivers and 2.5GB of frame-buffer memory. Buyers who need more video memory for larger datasets or higher-resolution multi-monitor setups should consider other options. Systems limited to older PCI Express generations will still function, but bandwidth-sensitive tasks may not reach peak throughput.

Standard bracket and driver ecosystem included

The standard-height bracket fits typical workstation chassis without modification. NVIDIA supplies Quadro-certified drivers for Windows and Linux, enabling application-specific optimisations and stability testing. No additional software bundles or adapters are mentioned in the specifications.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot for this Quadro 5000?

Yes, the card installs in a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and will also run in newer PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slots at the 2.0 speed.

Can I keep my older DVI monitor while adding a DisplayPort screen to the 320-bit GDDR5 card?

The Quadro 5000 provides one DVI and two DisplayPort outputs, so you can drive a legacy DVI display and up to two modern DisplayPort monitors simultaneously.

How do I verify the 2.5GB GDDR5 memory is recognised after installing the Quadro 5000?

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel on Windows or run `nvidia-smi` on Linux; both will list the Quadro 5000 with 2.5GB of dedicated video memory.
