Performance comparison: which is faster?
NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (NVIDIA, 2017) and GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (NVIDIA, 2019) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: nearly equal
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 2070 SUPER |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 15,000 | 15,000 |
| VRAM | 24GB | 8GB |
| Manufacturer | NVIDIA | NVIDIA |
| Series | Workstation | RTX 20 |
| Release Year | 2017 | 2019 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Ryzen 7 1800X | Ryzen 7 1800X |
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 | Quadro P6000 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Their scores are nearly identical (Quadro P6000: 15000 points / RTX 2070 SUPER: 15000 points). In this case, compare price, VRAM, and power draw.
Quadro P6000 has 24GB of VRAM, while RTX 2070 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 Ryzen 7 1800X with RTX 2070 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.
