My review of every Enterprise GPU in my collection continues, this time with NVIDIA's Pascal series. Today, we're going to take a look at gaming performance of Tesla Flagships in the Tesla P40 and Tesla P100, as well as the low-powered Tesla P4.
But first... What am I drinking???

Price at the launch of this video for the Tesla P4 is ~105 on eBay. Very curious what it will be tomorrow.
-
Main difference between P100 and P40 is not the VRAM. The P100 has 1:2 FP64:FP32 ratio, for the P40 (and all other Pascal GPUs) it's 1:32, basically incapable of FP64. P100 is much better for certain computational physics workloads that need the extra precision, like molecular dynamics or orbital mechanics.
-
I've been waiting for this one! Was holding out on buying a P40 or P100 until this came out. Thanks Jeff. :D
-
Hurray! More good ideas for my poor life decisions (building a cloud gaming server)
-
I have been waiting for this video for so long! I was planning to get a P4, and now I want it even more :)
-
Really curious to see how a t4 performs vs a p4
-
Wow, I wasn't expecting this, thank you for further experimenting. 😊
-
1 minute in and I'm already excited with my 2 x P40
-
I am running the p4 for almost one year 24x7 and absolutely love this card. I have more projects running on this thing now, my NAS doesnt classify as NAS anymore😅 more vGPU Emulation server, enjoying Mario Kart on many connected devices with the whole family 😂 its just so dang cheap now, its impossible to beat and great for inferencing llms (the p100 would be better due to faster memory).. i am now hoping the t4 will drop in price.
-
Lets goo! Love this cloud gaming series 😄
-
I somehow managed to snag a p100 last month for $40 off ebay. That may have been the greatest deal i have ever scored.
-
I'm so glad you ran these benchmarks! I'm elbows deep building a multipurpose virtualization/AI server out of 2nd gen threadripper and p100's. It's good to know what to expect, and also that my expectations weren't way off base when I started.
-
Thanks for keeping the info within your knowledge, I definitely appreciate it.
-
I know it is comparing completely different families, but I'm interested in comparing the P4 to an A380 in straight passthrough. The A380 can be had new for $120ish for the half-height cards. That's in the same ballpark. I know we will never get SR-IOV for the ARC cards (Except maybe the A770 with major hacks). But I do think it has the possibility of being really interesting. Plus, there are other comparisons to be made. The Nvidia cards likely have a gaming performance advantage, but QuickSync is SO much better than NVENC that it might make big differences when it comes to encoding those remote desktop video streams.
-
I was really surprised by the P4. I may have to try it as an energy efficient VDI solution. At two VMs per GPU it should be more than enough powerful for light CAD work, but I bet you could squeeze 4 VMs if you aren't working with large assemblies.
-
Great video and I love the series! Though it would be a lot easier to visualize the data in bar graph form rather than just a matrix of values.
-
I’d like to see an update on the we home server you did in that pre jonsbo style case! I made a very similar build but used LSI 9300i and 10gb m.2 adapter with TrueNAS scale (could not get pcie pass through to work either)
-
Have a couple of Quadro t400s for Plex and VM glad I got a P4 as it's been a powerhouse for running LLMs, recognize, etc. By the way, Epyc 7302 is what I'm running, and I love it other than being a little heater. Iron Horse Brewery has its main staples, like the quilter’s Irish Death, but they play with many others. I was up in their tap room last week, and the cookie death was only $3.
-
My big takeaway from this is just how impressive integrated graphics are now. These dedicated GPU's were once the bee's knees and now a 7840U can outpace them in games. Really cool times we live in!

Been using a Quadro P4000 gpu for over a year. Was half the price of a 1080ti on e-bay at the time. I dont game a great deal anymore but its never failed at anything Ive thrown at it.
