About the NVIDIA Quadro P4000 GPU
The NVIDIA Quadro P4000 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q1 2017 with a MSRP of $815. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.
Memory
The P4000 has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,901 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 243.3 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 P4000 includes 1,792 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,202 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,480 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The P4000 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 105 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The P4000 has the 142nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 14.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 15,433 score and $815 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 18.94. This is the 88th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2010 with a MSRP of $349. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF100) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 470 has 1,280 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 837 MHz memory clock and a 320 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 133.9 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 GTX 470 includes 448 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 607 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 40 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 470 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 215 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GTX 470 has the 266th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 4,342 score and $349 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 12.44. This is the 94th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
