NVIDIA Quadro P620 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (Desktop)

NVIDIA Quadro P620

The Nvidia Quadro P620 is an entry-level mobile workstation graphics card for laptops. It uses a GP107 Pascal chip with a 128 Bit memory bus and therefore similar to the old Quadro P1000 with reduced clock speeds. Compared to consumer cards, there is no similar specified card currently and therefore the P620 slots in between the GeForce MX250 and GTX 1050. With a theoretical peak of 1.5 TFLOPS, the performance is clearly ahead of the old P600 with 1.2 TFLOPS.

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 GeForce GTX 1080 (Desktop)

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 is a fast desktop graphics card based on the Pascal architecture. It was announced in May 2016 and offers all 2,560 shader of the used GP104 chip. Furthermore, the GPU is coupled with 8 GB GDDR5X graphics memory using a 256 Bit interface (10 GHz, 320 GB/s). The chip is manufactured at TSMC in 16nm (FinFET). The TDP is specified at 180 Watt and therefore slightly higher than the predecessor, the GTX 980 with 165 Watt.
