Performance Analysis
The P100 delivers 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 which equals twice its 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 rating and supports training or inference operations that rely on dense half precision arithmetic. The RTX 5060 supplies 19.2 TFLOPS FP32 and 614 TFLOPS FP4 with sparsity yet lacks a published dense FP16 rating so direct dense FP16 comparisons remain limited to the P100 figure alone. Memory bandwidth of 732 GB/s on the P100 exceeds the 448 GB/s on the RTX 5060 and therefore permits larger batch sizes during memory intensive operations while the 145W TDP of the RTX 5060 reduces power requirements relative to the 250W TDP of the P100.

When to Choose the P100
The P100 suits scientific computing workloads that benefit from its 732 GB/s memory bandwidth and 16 GB HBM2 capacity for handling large data sets. Its 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating further supports dense precision tasks where the RTX 5060 lacks a comparable published figure.
When to Choose the RTX 5060
The RTX 5060 suits inference scenarios that exploit its 614 TFLOPS FP4 with sparsity rating and 145W TDP for reduced power consumption. Its 19.2 TFLOPS FP32 performance also exceeds the 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 of the P100 in full precision workloads.
Use Cases
The P100 provides 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 732 GB/s bandwidth that support training steps with larger batches than the 448 GB/s available on the RTX 5060.
The RTX 5060 supplies 614 TFLOPS FP4 with sparsity and a 145W TDP that favor efficient inference relative to the P100 power and format specifications.
The P100 offers 16 GB HBM2 memory and 732 GB/s bandwidth that accommodate fine tuning data flows exceeding the 448 GB/s limit of the RTX 5060.
The RTX 5060 achieves 19.2 TFLOPS FP32 and 614 TFLOPS FP4 with sparsity that align with diffusion model requirements at a 145W TDP.
The P100 delivers 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 together with 732 GB/s bandwidth that benefit compute heavy scientific simulations over the RTX 5060 bandwidth.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the P100 and the RTX 5060. 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.
