Performance Analysis
The 6.5 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating of the GTX 1070 versus the 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating of the Quadro P5000 indicates the latter completes matrix operations in fewer cycles for training and inference workloads. Because FP16 figures are not published by the vendor no comparison of dense FP16 or sparse FP16 performance is possible. Memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s on the GTX 1070 versus 288 GB/s on the Quadro P5000 limits the maximum batch size that can be sustained before data stalls occur. The 8 GB VRAM capacity on the GTX 1070 versus the 16 GB VRAM capacity on the Quadro P5000 further restricts the size of models or datasets that fit without partitioning across multiple cards.

When to Choose the GTX 1070
The GTX 1070 suits deployments where the 150 W TDP must stay below a strict power budget. Its 8 GB memory and 256 GB/s bandwidth remain adequate for smaller inference batches or scientific simulations that do not exceed those limits. The lower TDP also reduces cooling requirements in dense rack installations compared with the 180 W TDP of the alternative.
When to Choose the Quadro P5000
The Quadro P5000 suits workloads that require the full 16 GB of GDDR5X memory to hold larger model weights or intermediate activations. Its 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating and 288 GB/s bandwidth support larger batch sizes during fine tuning or scientific computing runs. The extra memory capacity also permits longer context lengths in inference without swapping to host memory.
Use Cases
The 16 GB VRAM capacity supports larger batch sizes than the 8 GB limit of the GTX 1070.
The 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating and 288 GB/s bandwidth sustain higher throughput for longer sequences.
The 16 GB memory holds full precision optimizer states that exceed the 8 GB available on the GTX 1070.
Both cards deliver adequate 6.5 TFLOPS or 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 for typical image resolutions yet the GTX 1070 uses less power.
The 288 GB/s bandwidth and 16 GB capacity reduce data movement stalls compared with the GTX 1070 specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dense FP32 performance difference between the GTX 1070 and the Quadro P5000?▾
The GTX 1070 provides 6.5 TFLOPS dense FP32 while the Quadro P5000 provides 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32. This difference affects the number of floating point operations completed per second in matrix workloads.
What are the TDP values for the GTX 1070 and Quadro P5000?▾
The GTX 1070 has a TDP of 150 W. The Quadro P5000 has a TDP of 180 W. System integrators must account for the 30 W difference when planning power delivery.
Do the GPUs publish FP16 performance numbers?▾
Neither the GTX 1070 nor the Quadro P5000 lists FP16 figures. Only the dense FP32 values of 6.5 TFLOPS and 8.9 TFLOPS are available for comparison.
Which GPU offers higher memory bandwidth?▾
The Quadro P5000 supplies 288 GB/s while the GTX 1070 supplies 256 GB/s. The 32 GB/s advantage reduces the time spent moving data between memory and compute units.
Are both GPUs built on the same architecture?▾
Both the GTX 1070 and the Quadro P5000 use the Pascal architecture released in 2016. They also share the PCIe 3.0 interconnect and PCIe form factor.
