NVIDIA P102-100

The NVIDIA P102-100 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q1 2018. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP102) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The P102-100 has 5 GB of GDDR5X memory, with a 1,376 MHz memory clock and a 320 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 440.3 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 P102-100 includes 3,200 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,582 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,683 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 200 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The P102-100 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.
