A benchmark appears where the graphics cards GTX 1080, Titan X Pascal and Quadro P6000 are compared… in the Futuremark

NVIDIA is characterized by offering a wide range of solutions, not only graphics card for gaming, but also has a line of special products for high-level graphic computing, such as graphic design in architecture or video game development, among many others. . Clearly the NVIDIA Quadro would not buy them to play, because it would be a waste of money, it would be like buying an Intel Xeon, intended for servers and raw computing, for gaming, it would work, of course it does, but it is not its function, far from it .

The comparison between a Quadro P6000, a Titan X Pascal and the GTX 1080 has appeared out of nowhere. The Titan X and P6000 have the GPU in common, as they both use a GP102, but the Quadro has 3840 CUDA Cores and the Titan X Pascal has 3584 CUDA Cores, a difference that is important to note. The GTX for its part has a GP104 GPU of 2560 CUDA Cores. Everything shows that the difference in power is there, in the CUDA Cores.

It should come as no surprise, knowing that the Quadro has 256 more CUDA Cores than the Titan X Pascal, that the Quadro scores 8698 points and the Titan X Pascal scores 8175 points in the benchmark software, 3DMark Time Spy running under DirectX 12. The difference of 10FPS in money translates into more than three times the price of the Titan X Pascal, since the Quadro P6000 is around € 5000 and we reiterate that we are a gaming GPU, it is a graphics for graphic design, video games and other high-end jobs. performance.

Moreover, we must bear in mind that the Titan are a hybrid between graphics cards for computing and gaming, giving great performance results in both fields and as you can see in the graph, it scores almost 1000 points from the GTX 1080. If you have one of these graphics, you can do whatever you want, but this type of benchmark makes little sense, since things are being mixed, it is as if a raw graphic computing benchmark appeared with the GTX 1080, it would not make sense.
