We do have a replacement for the GTX 1080 which we will be reviewing soon. The Titan Black was also used in our main workstation and replaced with the GTX 1080. The ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 we picked up around six months ago and have been using it in our main workstation The plan is to switch out the Quadro K5200 that we have been using on our reviews with the GTX 1080. We do not have a large selection of graphics cards in the lab, just a few that we have been using over the years. Because we test all our GPUs on the same base system we can see how much of a difference changing graphics cards have. Let us move on with testing, the first two tests benchmark a complete system, we get a final system score for the results.

We will note that in most high-end workstation chassis front to rear airflow is very good and NVIDIA is taking advantage of that with the blower-style cooler. For normal operation it runs fairly quiet, the fan does spin up under heavy loads and generates more noise. This cooling fan appears to be like fans equipped on many reference cards. The P6000 also supports SLI if you require additional graphics cards Only one 8-Pin power connector is needed to run the P6000. The green color band with the Nvidia logo looks nice and the P6000 card type on the end of the card. Here we are looking down at the top of the card which is how it would look installed in a case.

This is common for many graphics card but for a card that pulls in a hefty price like this one we would like to see a cover or back plate here. The back of the P6000 shows the main circuit board, no cover or back plate to protect the exposed circuits. Let us turn the card over and take a look at the back of the P6000.
QUADRO P6000 FULL
This is a full height, dual slot graphics card that is similar in design to many cards in this class. We expect the vast majority of users to be utilizing these cards in high-end OEM workstations which will take into account these environmental concerns. The P6000 has a length of 10.5 inches which falls in line with standard card lengths and should not introduce any problems when installing in cases. It does display the product type “Quadro” at the output end of the card and a nice green band at the top and bottom of the card. The NVIDIA Quadro P6000 looks very much like any other reference design offered by NVIDIA. The 24GB of GPU memory put it out of the league of consumer parts like the GTX 1080 Ti (and it should for the price): NVIDIA Quadro P6000 Specifications Close look at the NVIDIA Quadro P6000

QUADRO P6000 PROFESSIONAL
Nvidia Quadro graphics cards are certified for a wide range of professional applications and tested by workstation manufacturers. We wanted to test out the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 on our review workstation to see how it compares to other graphics cards we have in the lab. This is a powerful graphics card which offers the highest performance in the Quadro line-up. In an up and coming workstation review that we have in the works came equipped with NVIDIA’s latest high-end Quadro P6000.
