Quadro P6000 vs V100

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

PascalvsVoltaUpdated 34 days ago

The V100 is the stronger choice for the most common use case of dense FP16 accelerated training because its 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and 900 GB/s bandwidth exceed the corresponding published capabilities of the Quadro P6000.

Performance Analysis

The V100 supplies 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance that the Quadro P6000 does not publish while FP32 performance stands at 12.6 TFLOPS for the Quadro P6000 and 15.7 TFLOPS for the V100. This dense FP16 advantage on the V100 enables larger batch sizes during training workloads that rely on reduced precision tensor operations. The 900 GB/s memory bandwidth on the V100 compared with 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000 further supports increased data throughput that can accommodate larger batch sizes in memory intensive inference tasks without changing the dense FP32 figures of 15.7 TFLOPS versus 12.6 TFLOPS.

When to Choose the Quadro P6000

The Quadro P6000 suits workloads that operate within its published 12.6 TFLOPS FP32 limit and 24 GB GDDR5X capacity when lower TDP of 250W is required. Scenarios limited to PCIe 3.0 interconnect and without need for dense FP16 acceleration favor the Quadro P6000 over the V100.

When to Choose the V100

The V100 suits workloads that utilize its 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and 900 GB/s memory bandwidth for accelerated tensor operations. Scenarios that benefit from NVLink interconnect and 15.7 TFLOPS FP32 performance favor the V100 over the Quadro P6000.

Use Cases

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the Quadro P6000 and the V100. 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.
