NVIDIA Quadro P4000 vs NVIDIA T1000 vs NVIDIA Quadro P3000

NVIDIA Quadro P4000

The Nvidia Quadro P4000 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. There is currently no consumer counterpart and the GPU is sitting between the Quadro P3000 (GTX 1060) and Quadro P5000 (GTX 1070). It is equipped with 1792 shaders and should therefore use the same GP104 chip from the P5000 (2048 shaders). It has 8 GB GDDR-VRAM at the same bandwidth and has the similar 100-Watt TGP according to Nvidia.

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.

NVIDIA T1000

The Nvidia T1000 is a professional desktop graphics card for small entry-level workstations. It is based on the same TU117 Turing chip as the consumer GeForce GTX1650. The number of shader units is also identical at 896. With 8 GB VRAM, the Nvidia T1000 however offers more VRAM, which is still connected via a 128 bit memory bus. The power consumption of the Nvidia T1000 is only rated at 50 watts and therefore does not require an additional power connection.

The professional graphics cards offer certified drivers which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospecting, visualization applications). As a result, the performance in these areas is significantly better compared to consumer graphics cards with the same chip.

In contrast to the more powerful RTX cards (e.g. Quadro RTX 3000), they do not offer ray tracing and tensor cores. The Turing architecture has also seen significant improvements at the CUDA core level. Float and INT operations can now be executed simultaneously, the cache has been standardized and improved and adaptive shading has been introduced. As a result, Nvidia claims up to 50% higher performance per core compared to Pascal.

NVIDIA Quadro P3000

The Nvidia Quadro P3000 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop), it is based on the GP106 chip with 1280 shaders. The graphics card is designed for the Kaby Lake generation and is the successor to the Quadro M3000M (Maxwell). However, the P3000 is equipped with 6 GB GDDR5 video memory (at a lower bandwidth), while GTX 1060 is available with 3 or 6 GB. The clock rates range from 1088 MHz (base) to 1215 MHz (typical Boost) to 1240 MHz (max.).

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 on par with the GTX 1060 (if the clocks did not take a massive hit), so the GPU should be significantly faster than the previous M3000M.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the Quadro P3000 is 75 Watts TGP (including memory) or 55.3 W TDP according to Nvidia, so the card is suited for 15-inch notebooks or larger.
