HD-Audio codecs, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD, can be transmitted via bitstream mode through the HDMI port. Furthermore, high resolution monitors of up to 3840 x 2160 pixels can now be connected using DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4a if available. The improved feature set now includes support for up to 4 active displays. Therefore, most demanding games of 2013 will run fluently with medium or high details. This places the K2100M near the consumer GT 750M GPU. The performance is clearly above the old Quadro K2000M, but slightly below the Quadro K3000M. However, due to the missing hot clock of the shader domain, two shaders of a Kepler chip offer similar performance to just one shader of a Fermi chip (as the latter is clocked twice as fast). Although more shader cores are available in the Kepler architecture as compared to the Fermi design, the Kepler shaders are still expected to be up to twice as power efficient. In the K2100M, 3 of 5 blocks are active leading to the 576 CUDA cores. The GK106 Kepler core offers five shader blocks, called SMX, that are clocked at the same speed as the central core. The Kepler architecture is the successor to the Fermi architecture that first appeared in laptops with the GeForce 400M series.

OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better than with GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.
NVIDIA QUADRO K2000 PROFESSIONAL
The Quadro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. The K2100M usually comes with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM clocked at 750 MHz (3000 MHz effective, 48.0 GB/s). As a new feature, PCIe 3.0 is supported for the first time. The Quadro K2100M is built for the Intel Shark Bay generation (Haswell) and is a successor to the Quadro K2000M (Chief River platform). It is a Kepler-based GPU built on the GK106 chip with 576 out of 960 shader cores activated and is manufactured in 28nm at TSMC. The NVIDIA Quadro K2100M is a DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.3 compatible graphics card for mobile workstations.
