Performance Analysis
The Quadro RTX 5000 delivers 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 compared with 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the P100 which produces nearly five times the dense FP16 throughput for training and inference workloads. The P100 supplies 732 GB/s memory bandwidth against 448 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 5000 so batch sizes in bandwidth limited kernels can increase on the P100. FP32 throughput favors the Quadro RTX 5000 at 11.2 TFLOPS versus 9.3 TFLOPS on the P100 while both GPUs expose NVLink interconnect options.

When to Choose the P100
The P100 suits scientific computing workloads that require the 732 GB/s memory bandwidth of its HBM2 configuration. Its 250 W TDP remains acceptable when dense FP16 throughput at 18.7 TFLOPS meets application targets and when SXM2 form factor deployment is available.
When to Choose the Quadro RTX 5000
The Quadro RTX 5000 suits LLM inference and fine tuning workloads that exploit its 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating. Its 230 W TDP and 11.2 TFLOPS FP32 rating further support Stable Diffusion tasks where the 178.4 TOPS dense INT8 capability accelerates quantized inference.
Use Cases
The Quadro RTX 5000 supplies 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 which exceeds the P100 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 for accelerated training throughput.
The Quadro RTX 5000 supplies 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 178.4 TOPS dense INT8 which accelerate inference relative to the P100 figures.
The Quadro RTX 5000 supplies 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 which exceeds the P100 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 for fine tuning efficiency.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the P100 and the Quadro RTX 5000. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
