Quadro 2000M, it's a miracle that it support dx12 games.

That's a workstation card, significantly higher grade than the consumer cards at the time. How did you even get your hands on it?

I have a 8570w hp elitebook laptop which i bought back in 2016 from an aftermarket sales shop, you rarely see a new laptop in stock here in Iraq and if there's any they would be ridiculously over priced.
I'm used to saying pc as a general term, that might created som sort of confusion? Sorry if that's the case.

Ok that's even crazier, I had no idea they made the quattro in a mobile format. Yeah the HP website calls it a 'portable workstation'.

I mean compared to modern cards it's a little old but back in the day that was mainly used by data scientists and field statisticians that needed ridiculous amount of simulation math

Also, the designator 'workstation' back then was more than just 'A place to work', but a specific class of PC that was designed for high end tasks like rendering video or CAD, and they were ridiculously expensive. Fitting all that power in a laptop is really mind blowing to me
