FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Quadro P2000 is the newer part: Pascal (2017) against the P100's Pascal (2016).

The P100 carries 11 GB more memory (16 GB against 5 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 732 GB/s against 140 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 300 W against 75 W, and at FP32 the Quadro P2000 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.

Frequently asked questions

Is the P100 faster than the Quadro P2000?

At FP32 precision the P100 reaches 11 TFLOPS dense against 3 TFLOPS for the Quadro P2000. The performance table on this page lists every published precision for both GPUs.

Which should you choose, the P100 or the Quadro P2000?

Choose the P100 for training and high-throughput inference: it has 3.5x the FP32 throughput of the Quadro P2000. It also carries 11 GB more memory, so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. The P100 draws 225 W more power, so budget for cooling and power delivery before you commit. Packaging differs too: the P100 is an SXM module while the Quadro P2000 is a PCIe card, so check what your servers accept.

Which has more memory, the P100 or the Quadro P2000?

The P100 carries 16 GB of memory versus 5 GB for the Quadro P2000. Memory bandwidth is 732 GB/s for the P100 and 140 GB/s for the Quadro P2000.

How much power do the P100 and the Quadro P2000 draw?

The P100 is rated at 300 W TDP and the Quadro P2000 at 75 W. On FP32 throughput per watt, the Quadro P2000 is the more efficient part.
