Rounding out the rest of the pack is the Quadro P600 and P400. NVIDIA Quadro Specification Comparison (6xx/4xx) Interestingly, I’m told that these are latching ports, which isn’t standard for mini-DisplayPort but offers a more robust connection as a result. Meanwhile due to its size, NVIDIA has shifted to mini-DisplayPort connectors here. Overall performance on paper should be around 84% faster than the outgoing K1200, while TDP has drifted up just slightly from 45W to 47W. It uses a cut-down GP107 GPU clocked at around 1.4GHz. Replacing the GM107-based K1200, the P1000 is the most powerful of the low-profile Quadros. Starting things off here we have the Quadro P1000. All based around the GP107 GPU, these cards also serve to reintegrate the Quadro lineup into a single family the cards these new Quadro products replace were sold as part of the Quadro K-series, and featured a mix of Kepler and Maxwell 1 GPUs. Still farther down the refreshed Quadro lineup we have NVIDIA’s low-profile cards, which cover the rest of the mid-range market and the entry-level market. NVIDIA Quadro Specification Comparison (1xxx) Surprisingly, NVIDIA didn’t opt to go with a fully-enabled 192-bit memory bus on this card instead only 5 channels (160-bits) are enabled, which is also why it offers the more unusual memory capacity of 5GB.įinally, both cards come with 4 full-size DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. Performance should be around 66% percent faster than its predecessor with the same 75W TDP. This card is in the same single-slot form factor as the P4000, but it drops down in power and performance, being built off of a GP106 GPU. Meanwhile replacing the Quadro M2000 is the Quadro P2000. It is also the lower-tier card that NVIDIA still classifies as VR ready below the P4000 they don’t recommend their cards for VR development. With respect to performance on paper it should deliver right around 2x the performance of the M4000, and it can do so with a TDP of 105W, 15W lower than its predecessor. However unlike the P5000, the P4000 has been cut down to size as a single-slot card. As the more powerful of the two, the Quadro P4000 is based on a cut-down GP104 GPU, the same GPU used in the Quadro P5000. NVIDIA Quadro Specification Comparison (4000/2000)Īt the mid-range of the market are the Quadro P4000 and P2000. Over the years NVIDIA has worked out a distinct price/feature/TDP structure to their Quadro lineup, with this latest generation of cards meant to slot right into that.

Moving on to the products then, the five cards covered here are being launched to replace their Maxwell M-series cards in the same segments. This includes much greater performance thanks to the smaller 16nm manufacturing process and resulting wider GPUs, single-port support for monitors thanks to DisplayPort 1.4, and Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) for VR.

But at a high level Pascal and the cards based on it bring with them a few core improvements over previous generation Maxwell and Kepler cards. Along with the Quadro GP100, altogether NVIDIA is announcing six new Quadro Pascal cards today, joining the two existing Pascal cards and finishing the rest of the Quadro family Pascal refresh.Īs we’ve already covered the Pascal Quadro family feature set in some detail with the Quadro P6000 launch, I won’t go over it in great depth here. Alongside today’s big announcement of the GP100-powered Quadro GP100, NVIDIA is also announcing a sizable refresh to the rest of the Quadro family today at SOLIDWORKS World.
