Summary
About the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPU
The NVIDIA Quadro K6000 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q3 2013 with a MSRP of $5,265. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK110B) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The K6000 has 12 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,502 MHz memory clock and a 384 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288.4 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The K6000 includes 2,880 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 797 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 902 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 240 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The K6000 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 225 W.
About the AMD FirePro W7100 GPU
The AMD FirePro W7100 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q3 2014. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tonga) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The FirePro W7100 has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The FirePro W7100 includes 1,792 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 920 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The FirePro W7100 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 150 W.
