Performance comparison: which is faster?
NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (NVIDIA, 2017) and GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (NVIDIA, 2019) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: Quadro P6000 is about 15.4% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM Quadro P6000（24GB） has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | Quadro P6000 | RTX 2060 SUPER |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 15,000 | 13,000 |
| VRAM | 24GB | 8GB |
| Manufacturer | NVIDIA | NVIDIA |
| Series | Workstation | RTX 20 |
| Release Year | 2017 | 2019 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Ryzen 7 1800X | Core i7-6700K |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on Quadro P6000 also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | Quadro P6000 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | Quadro P6000 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | RTX 2060 SUPER (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Quadro P6000 is about 15.4% higher by score (Quadro P6000: 15000 points / RTX 2060 SUPER: 13000 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Quadro P6000 has 24GB of VRAM, while RTX 2060 SUPER has 8GB; Quadro P6000 has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, Ryzen 7 1800X pairs well with Quadro P6000 and Core i7-6700K with RTX 2060 SUPER (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
