Nvidia’s GP100 graphics chip has shown up in two different forms for datacenters already: first as a Tesla P100 NVLink mezzanine card for HPC systems, and second as a Tesla P100 PCIe accelerator. The green team has now finished its GP100 hat trick with the Quadro GP100, a graphics card that brings the most potent Pascal chip to workstations for the first time.
It’s not this small in real life, we promise
According to Anandtech , the GP100 GPU in this Quadro arrives on the desktop with every bit of its frightening floating-point performance intact. That means FP64 calculations will tick along at 5.3 TFLOPS, FP32 at 10.6 TFLOPS, and FP16 at 20.7 TFLOPS. The card’s GP100 GPU shares its interposer with 16GB of HBM2 RAM. Unlike its Tesla counterparts, the Quadro offers four DisplayPort 1.4 outs, one DVI-D out, and optional provisions for stereo goggles.
