NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M vs NVIDIA Quadro P5000 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data paints a starkly one-sided picture. Across the available head-to-head benchmark suite, the NVIDIA Quadro P5000 claims the only win. The GeForce GTX 675M does not register a single victory in the shared test database. The sole comparable metric, Geekbench OpenCL, sees the Quadro P5000 score 52,509 against the GTX 675M’s 6,946, a 656% difference. This is not a close contest; it is a generational chasm expressed in raw compute throughput.

The Quadro P5000’s win is comprehensive across its own benchmark portfolio. It posts scores of 12,634 in Passmark G3D, 6,508 in Passmark GPU Compute, and 674 in Passmark G2D. It also records 5,250 in Geekbench OpenCL (the same test used in the head-to-head), 6,342 in Geekbench Vulkan, and 1,330 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The GTX 675M, by contrast, has only the single Geekbench OpenCL result in the database, which means its measured capabilities are limited to that one workload. For any user considering the GTX 675M, the data suggests it is only viable for tasks that fall within that narrow OpenCL measurement window, and even then, it is dramatically outperformed.

The practical split is clear: the Quadro P5000 is built for professional, compute-heavy, and modern graphics workloads, while the GTX 675M is a legacy mobile part that cannot compete on any recorded metric. The Quadro P5000 also holds a 41st percentile ranking among all GPUs, versus the GTX 675M’s 39th percentile. While both sit in the lower half of the database, the Quadro’s average benchmark score of 8,039 dwarfs the GTX 675M’s 6,946. Even the Quadro’s nearest rivals, such as the GeForce GTX 880M with an identical 8,040 average and the GTX 650 Ti at 8,053, outclass the GTX 675M, which is bracketed by the AMD Radeon R5 M240 (6,975) and the AMD FirePro M5100 (6,830).

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are separated by more than four years of engineering. The Quadro P5000 uses the GP104 chip on the Pascal architecture, built on a 16 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 7,200 million transistors on a 314 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 22.9 million per square millimeter. The GTX 675M uses the GF114 chip on the older Fermi 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 40 nm process at the same foundry. It holds 1,950 million transistors on a 332 mm² die, with a density of only 5.9 million per square millimeter. The die size is similar, but the transistor count is nearly four times higher on the Quadro, a direct consequence of the smaller process node.

The memory systems diverge sharply. The Quadro P5000 ships with 16 GB of GDDR5X on a 256-bit bus, delivering 288.5 GB/s of bandwidth. The GTX 675M offers 2 GB of GDDR5 on the same 256-bit bus, but only achieves 96.00 GB/s. The Quadro’s memory clock is listed at 1127 MHz with 9 Gbps effective, while the GTX 675M runs at 750 MHz with 3 Gbps effective. This is a 3x bandwidth advantage for the Quadro, which is critical for large datasets and high-resolution textures.

Compute resources follow the same pattern. The Quadro P5000 has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The GTX 675M has 384 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The Quadro’s pixel rate is 110.9 GPixel/s versus 9.920 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 277.3 GTexel/s versus 39.68 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 8.873 TFLOPS against the GTX 675M’s 952.3 GFLOPS. The Quadro also lists FP16 compute at 138.6 GFLOPS (1:64 ratio), while the GTX 675M has no recorded FP16 capability.

Feature support differs as well. The Quadro P5000 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GTX 675M supports DirectX 12 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.6, but has no Vulkan entry in the database. The Quadro is a dual-slot PCIe 3.0 x16 card with a 1x 8-pin power connector and a 180 W TDP, requiring a 450 W suggested PSU. The GTX 675M is an MXM module with no power connectors listed and a 100 W TDP, designed for portable systems. Display outputs also set them apart: the Quadro offers 1x DVI and 4x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the GTX 675M’s outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains exactly one shared benchmark between these two parts: Geekbench OpenCL. The result is decisive. The Quadro P5000 scores 52,509, while the GTX 675M scores 6,946, yielding a delta of 656% in favor of the Quadro. This single data point encapsulates the entire relationship between the two cards. The Quadro P5000 is not merely faster; it is in a different performance class.

Looking at the Quadro’s broader benchmark results provides context. Its Passmark G3D score of 12,634 and GPU Compute score of 6,508 indicate strong general-purpose and compute performance. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 1,330 shows modern API capability. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 6,342 confirms that the Pascal architecture handles contemporary graphics interfaces efficiently. The GTX 675M has no comparable results in any of these tests, so the only recorded performance data is the OpenCL figure.

The nearest rivals for each GPU further illuminate the gap. The Quadro P5000’s closest competitors are the GeForce GTX 880M (average score 8,040, 0% delta), the GTX 650 Ti (8,053, -0.2%), the GTX 650 Ti Boost (8,067, -0.3%), and the GRID K2 (8,080, -0.5%). These are all within 0.5% of the Quadro’s average, suggesting that the Quadro sits in a tightly packed mid-range cluster. The GTX 675M’s rivals are the AMD Radeon R5 M240 (6,975, -0.4%), the GTX 680M (7,023, -1.1%), the NVIDIA T600 (7,035, -1.3%), and the AMD FirePro M5100 (6,830, 1.7%). The GTX 675M is near the bottom of its own peer group, slightly ahead of the FirePro but behind the R5 M240 and the GTX 680M.

The production status for both is end-of-life, but the release dates tell the story: the Quadro P5000 launched on 2016-09-30, while the GTX 675M arrived on 2012-03-21. That four-year gap explains the architectural leap. The Quadro’s Pascal generation succeeded Quadro Maxwell and was followed by Quadro Volta. The GTX 675M’s GeForce 600M generation succeeded GeForce 500M and was followed by GeForce 700M. The benchmark data shows no scenario where the GTX 675M can match the Quadro P5000, and the only recorded head-to-head is a landslide. For any workload that stresses OpenCL compute, the Quadro P5000 is the only rational choice based on measured performance.
