NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Desktop) vs NVIDIA Quadro P1000 vs NVIDIA Quadro P5200

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Desktop)

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (N17P-G1) for desktops is an entry level gaming graphics card that was announced late 2016. It is based on the GP107 chip using the Pascal architecture and manufactured in 14nm FinFET at Samsung (the bigger Pascal chips are manufactured in 16nm at TSMC). Usually it is equipped with 4 GB GDDR5 memory with a 7 Gbps data rate. The mobile GTX 1050 Ti version should be announced later (beginning of 2017) and feature similar specs.

The performance of the GTX 1050 lies between the Radeon RX 460 and the RX 470 on a similar level of the old GeForce GTX 960 (or 970M). Therefore, the card is most suited for 1080p gaming at high detail settings (but not maximum settings).

See our extensive review of the MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti for more information on power consumption, benchmarks and noise level.

NVIDIA Quadro P1000

The Nvidia Quadro P1000 is a mobile entry-level workstation graphics card for notebooks. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1050 (Laptop), it is based on the GP107 chip but offers only 512 shaders (1050 offers 640, 1050 Ti 768). The graphics card is designed for the Kaby Lake / Coffee Lake generation.

The Quadro GPUs offer certified drivers, which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospection, and visualizing applications). The performance in these areas is therefore much better compared to corresponding consumer GPUs.

Performance

The theoretical performance should be below the GeForce GTX 1050 due to the lower shader count.

NVIDIA Quadro P5200

The Nvidia Quadro P5200 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for laptops. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1080 (Laptop), it is based on a GP104 chip with 2560 shaders but uses a bit slower GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X of the GTX1080. The Quadro P5200 ist the successor to the Quadro P5000. There will be a normal (Max-P) and a slower but more efficient (Max-Q) variant of the card. For the Max-P variant, the clock speeds are specified from 1556 (base) to 1746 MHz (Boost), the power efficient Max-Q clocks from 1316 MHz (base) to 1569 (Boost) according to a GPU-Z screenshot from a reader (-15% / -10%). The 16 GB GDDR5 are clocked at 3,6 GHz leading to a memory bandwidth of 230 GB/s.

The Quadro GPUs offer certified drivers, which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospection, and visualizing applications). The performance in these areas is therefore much better compared to corresponding consumer GPUs.

Performance

The theoretical performance should be a bit above the older Quadro P5000. Altough the clock speed increase is not yet known, the power consumption is rumored to be a lot higher, which should lead to a noticable improved performance. Nvidia specifies a theoretical peak performance of 8,9 GFLOPS (Single Precision).

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the Quadro P5200 is specified by Nvidia as 150 Watt (Max-P) and rumored to be 100 - 110 Watt for the Max-Q variant. Therefore, it is a lot higher than the Quadro P5000 versions (100 Watt and 80 Watt).
