When to Choose the Quadro P4000

The Quadro P4000 suits deployments that prioritize the 105W TDP over the 180W TDP of the alternative. Workloads that operate within 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and require only 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 throughput benefit from the reduced power envelope while maintaining PCIe 3.0 connectivity.

When to Choose the Quadro P5000

The Quadro P5000 suits deployments that require the full 16 GB of GDDR5X memory and the 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 throughput. Workloads that exceed 8 GB capacity or need the higher 288 GB/s bandwidth select this option despite the increase to 180W TDP.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the Quadro P4000 and the Quadro P5000. 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.
