Graphics Performance
The Quadro P5000 scores 12,728 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Pascal (2016−2021) architecture (codename: GP104), manufactured on a 16 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2048 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 160 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 8.873 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1733 MHz from a base of 1607 MHz.
