![]() ![]() By comparison, the 1060 max power is 120W. Max power consumption of the P2200 is 75W (from spec) and 73W (as tested by STH). I only had 1 slot available, and I wanted to keep power usage low and the system cool. The server where my Plex VM runs is a 24x7 server that runs many other VMs. I could have tested more streams, but was running out of clients and interest in testing since I can see the GPU was doing its intended work. I tested with a little more than half a dozen simultaneous transcodes, and CPU utilization was very low. The newer P2200 is equal or better than the P2000 in various metrics. You could buy one of those Eurocom MXM card + adapters - but you'll end up paying double and more for something more kludgey. I hope there is a vendor out there who would put a Geforce GTX 1050 mobile on a PCIe x16 SFF card (like what happened almost 20 years ago with S3 SavageMX laptop GPUs that found its way into budget gaming cards) - this Quadro P2200 looks like a 1050 Mobile with some tweaked drivers and some nVidia artificial restriction ridiculousness lifted. But then it's just a shopping exercise, not an engineering challenge. ![]() It's so easy to say that if power/slot count isn't a factor, there are tons of things that would do a better job and cheaper. I don't see any AMD cards out there that will come close to the performance of this card, and only use up 75 Watts TDP. I mean, just look at what you couldn't do with a Radeon Pro WX4100. Click to expand.No, you don't need a Quadro per-se - but I would not discount buying this particular Quadro - for an application in a very specific thermal/size envelope (single slot card that fits in a small form factor, with a thin fan and doesn't require an external power connector), this is actually rather competitive. ![]()
