NVIDIA T1000 vs NVIDIA Quadro P1000

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 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.
