Following on from the announcement and launch of the new NVIDIA Titan X Pascal consumer flagship graphics card from the hardware manufacturer, NVIDIA has today unveiled a new maxed-out GP102 Based Quadro P6000 graphics card.
The reign of TITAN X Pascal being the fastest single-GPU graphics card and consumer flagship card could be short-lived, as the Quadro card is based on the same “GP102” silicon, which maxes out its on-die resources.
Specifications and Performance
Specifications for the GP102 Based Quadro P6000 include 3,840 CUDA cores, 24GB of GDDR5X memory, across the chip’s 384-bit wide memory interface and features a maximum FP32 (single-precision floating point) performance of up to 12 TFLOP/s. This makes it an incredibly powerful tool for professionals who require high computational power for tasks such as 3D rendering, scientific simulations, and complex data analysis.
In comparison, the NVIDIA Quadro P5000 offers up to 8.9 TFLOP/s FP32 performance, and 16GB of GDDR5X memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface, says NVIDIA. While the TITAN X Pascal, its fastest consumer graphics offering targeted at gamers and PC enthusiasts, offers a slightly lower performance but is still a formidable option for high-end gaming and VR applications.
Applications and Use Cases
The Quadro P6000 is designed for professionals in fields such as architecture, engineering, and media production. Its massive 24GB of GDDR5X memory allows for the handling of extremely large datasets and complex models. For instance, in the field of architecture, the Quadro P6000 can render highly detailed 3D models of buildings and urban environments in real-time, allowing architects to visualize their designs with unprecedented clarity and accuracy.
In the media and entertainment industry, the Quadro P6000 can be used for high-resolution video editing, special effects, and animation. The card’s high FP32 performance ensures smooth playback and editing of 4K and even 8K video content, making it an essential tool for video editors and VFX artists.
Moreover, the Quadro P6000’s computational power is also beneficial for scientific research. Researchers working on simulations of physical phenomena, such as fluid dynamics or molecular modeling, can leverage the card’s capabilities to run their simulations faster and with greater precision.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet by NVIDIA, but as soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.
