Quadro P4000 vs Quadro P6000

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

PascalvsPascalUpdated 33 days ago

The Quadro P6000 wins for the most common professional workloads because its 24 GB GDDR5X memory and 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 exceed the Quadro P4000 limits of 8 GB and 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 while the Pascal architecture remains identical.

Performance Analysis

The Quadro P6000 delivers 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 compared with the Quadro P4000 at 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 so compute intensive workloads complete in less time on the higher figure. Memory bandwidth of 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000 versus 243 GB/s on the Quadro P4000 supports larger batch sizes during tensor operations because data movement keeps pace with the 2.4 times increase in dense FP32 throughput. The Quadro P4000 at 105W TDP cannot match the Quadro P6000 at 250W TDP for sustained dense FP32 workloads yet the lower power draw suits installations where thermal limits constrain total system consumption.

When to Choose the Quadro P4000

The Quadro P4000 fits scenarios that require only 8 GB GDDR5 memory and operate within a 105W TDP envelope. Workloads that stay under the 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 limit avoid the extra power draw of 250W while still completing tasks on the Pascal architecture.

When to Choose the Quadro P6000

Workloads that exceed 8 GB capacity or need the 432 GB/s bandwidth finish faster on this card despite the 250W TDP.

Use Cases

LLM Training
Quadro P6000

The 24 GB GDDR5X memory holds larger models than the 8 GB limit on the alternative card.

LLM Inference
Quadro P6000

The 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 432 GB/s bandwidth process batches faster than 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 243 GB/s.

Fine-tuning
Quadro P6000

The three times memory increase accommodates full parameter sets during updates.

Stable Diffusion
Quadro P4000

The 105W TDP and 8 GB GDDR5 suffice for typical image resolutions without excess power.

Scientific Computing
Either

Both cards deliver Pascal dense FP32 performance though memory needs dictate the final selection.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the Quadro P4000 and the Quadro P6000. 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.
