About the NVIDIA Quadro P5000 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro P5000 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q4 2016 with a MSRP of $2,499. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The P5000 has 16 GB of GDDR5X memory, with a 1,127 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288.5 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 P5000 includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,607 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,733 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The P5000 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 180 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The P5000 has the 111th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 19.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 20,096 score and $2,499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 8.04. This is the 102nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 GPU

The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 is a workstation graphics card that launched in Q3 2017. It is built on the GCN 5.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Vega 10) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The Pro Vega 56 has 8 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 786 MHz memory clock and a 2,048 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 402.4 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 Pro Vega 56 includes 3,584 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,138 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,250 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 210 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The Pro Vega 56 has the 92nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 24.46% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
