NVIDIA Quadro P6000 Review - Faster Than Titan X (3840 CUDA Cores)

[Sweepr]

NVIDIA has since retooled Pascal for the professional workstation market as well, with products that make even the GeForce GTX 1080 and TITAN X look quaint in comparison. We're speaking of the beastly Quadro P6000 and Quadro P5000 -- Pascal powered behemoths, packing up to 24GB of GDDR5X memory and GPUs that are more capable than their consumer-targeted counterparts. Though it is built around the same GP102 GPU, the Quadro P6000 is particularly interesting, because it is outfitted with a fully-functional Pascal GPU with all of its SMs enabled, which results in 3,840 active cores, versus 3,584 on the TITAN X. The P5000 has the same GP104 GPU as the GTX 1080, but packs in twice the amount of memory – 8GB vs 16GB.

The Quadro P6000 looks very similar to the previous-gen Quadro M6000, which was based on Maxwell. The cards feature the same black and bright-green coolers, dark PCB, and similar connector placement all around. The P6000 is a much more capable beast, though. As previously mentioned, the card is packing 3,840 CUDA cores, with 24GB of 9Gbps GDDR5X memory, linked to the GPU via a 384-bit interface. The GPU has a base clock of 1,417MHz and boost clock of 1,530MHz. At those frequencies, compute performance tops out at about 12 TLFOPs, with 432GB/s of peak memory bandwidth. The Quadro P6000 is also rated for max power consumption of 250W, which is right in-line with the previous-gen M6000, and requires a single 8-pin supplemental power feed.

This card will cost 500usd and been already on market as GTX1080 if AMD have something.Too bad NV have monopoly.
Almost 50% faster than mainstream GPU GTX1080(sold for 700usd heh)

They have it listed at $4850. Their professional cards are always much more expensive, for both brands.

Wow Hitman really seems to like that extra RAM (I assume). Brings up those minimums and kills a lot of the spikes. They really have to figure that out, because needing 24 GB of VRAM to eliminate spikes is just poor optimization. Too bad the Titan X isn't the full unlocked chip, and the Titan X being the 1080 Ti

Wow this card is a beast.

Fury X is representing too.

Hitman heavily favors AMD, that is old news.

You gotta pay to play, but this is really the result of lack of competition at the high end.

I'd be curious to see yields on top binned full chips like these. Maybe nvidia has been stockpiling them like crazy for months worth no reason to release them, or maybe they are hard to come by and they can't produce enough for consumer demand.

It's no secret that Nvidia bins the top GPU's for their professional cards. They've done this for many generations.

 

[tential]

Wow... Well that's scary for amd. Even if they match titan xp, Nvidia still has other Trump cards ready for them. Nvidia will hold the performance crown for awhile it seems.

This is especially true if amd continues to alternate between high and low end gpu releases

 

[AdamK47]

For the low price of $5,000. Not bad. I'll get two.

Why do ya'll think GP102 fully enabled has taken so long to come to market and especially the consumer market? What was the time between the 970 and 980Ti again?

Yields. Building a 471mm^2 chip on a 16FF+ process is NOT easy.

 

[Innokentij]

What a cute card, now where is the real high end card properly labeled GP110?

Cheers.

Glorious GPU that will never fully see the light of day for consumers. Watch GV104 barely match/beat a full GP102 a year or more later, yet get touted by Nvidia as being revolutionary or something for $700+ in 2018 because all they fed us up until then was a neutered GP102. For a similar example, see GP104 vs GM200 and GM204 vs GK110... or GF104 vs GT200. I'm sad now.

 

[daxzy]

Looks like this is the true high end card of Pascal, since I read that anything less than the best is mid-end.

Someone should buy it for bragging rights. If the extra 256 shaders don't win your heart, then the extra 12GB will.

 

[Shmee]

Can it be oced? How does it mine?

Not it. Way too rich for my blood.

We actualy need it for watch dogs 2 and mafia 3 cause it's so badly ported. Use found, now to sell a kidney

You pay $4850 for P6000 while you can pay $799 for WX7100.That's different huge in term of performance per price.
also $5400

wow
Comparing polaris 10 vs full die gp102
Not to mention P6000 had ECC support in the memory while WX7100 doesn't, 24GB vs 8GB too

Its like saying bmw7 series sucked compared to benz c class

 

[David_k]

It's like comparing the RX480 and a Pascal TXP, pointless, cards that target different performance and price brackets.

AMD's top pro gpu currently selling excluding the Fire pro is the WX7100, a card based on a $199 GPU with 8GB of GDDR5, the same as on the consumer 480.

On the other hand, NVIDIA's lowest Pascal quadro is the P5000, a fully unlocked GP104 based card, with twice the memory vs the consumer card, and that sells for $2.5K, while the P6000 is the "More premium than premium lets charge alot because theres nothing like that on the market" type of card, that happens to also cost a lot more to pruduce thanks for the big die, and the fact that its unlocked unlike the cut TXP doesn't help.

the WX7100 price/performance should be compered to similiery priced nvidia gpu, as medium sized chips will always dominate the $/performance aspect, not a ~417mm^2 gpu vs a ~230mm^2 one.
right now thats the M4000 which of course is inferior performance wise to the WX7100, but if the replacement will be priced similerly (~$800), performance and price should be comparabe I think.

If someone looks at hothardware's Bench , customers will ask Price.I said it base on bench.Nothing.for big customers ,Perf/Price doesn't matter.only small.
