It also includes 48 RT cores and 384 tensor cores, making it capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-driven tasks. The FP32 performance is rated at 11.15 TFLOPS, while FP16 performance reaches 22.30 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. Pixel fill rate is 116.2 GPixel/s, and texture fill rate is 348.5 GTexel/s.

Benchmark results for the GPU show a Passmark G3D score of 15616 and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 6525. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 78999 and Vulkan score of 92309 suggest strong compute capabilities for OpenCL-based rendering and Vulkan workloads. However, the Passmark DirectX scores are variable, with DirectX 11 scoring 140 and DirectX 12 scoring only 59, indicating that the card's DirectX performance is not its primary strength.

For rendering tasks, the 16 GB of VRAM is a significant asset, allowing large scenes and textures to be loaded without spilling into system memory. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that memory-intensive operations, such as high-resolution texture streaming, run smoothly. The presence of tensor cores makes the card suitable for AI-accelerated denoising and other neural network tasks, which are common in modern rendering pipelines. The RT cores provide hardware support for ray tracing, a feature that is becoming increasingly standard in professional visualization.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance of this system is characterized by a slight GPU bias in terms of percentile ranking, but the CPU is not far behind. The GPU sits at the 67th percentile, while the CPU is at the 62nd percentile, a difference of 5 points. This suggests that in most workloads, the GPU will be the limiting factor, but the CPU is capable of feeding it without becoming a major bottleneck in compute-heavy tasks.

In gaming scenarios, where no measured FPS data exists, estimates can be drawn from the benchmark scores. The CPU’s single-core Cinebench R23 score of 3240 is strong and should handle game logic and physics well. The GPU’s Passmark DirectX 11 score of 140 is decent, but its DirectX 12 score of 59 is low, suggesting that in modern DirectX 12 titles, the GPU may struggle to maintain high frame rates. This implies that the GPU is more likely to be the bottleneck in gaming, especially at higher resolutions where the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth may be taxed.

For productivity workloads, the balance shifts. The CPU’s multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 22950 is excellent, allowing it to handle heavy compilation, encoding, and simulation tasks without issue. The GPU’s compute scores are also strong, but in tasks that are purely CPU-bound, the CPU will lead. Conversely, in GPU-bound tasks like rendering with OptiX or CUDA, the GPU will be the limiting factor. The data indicates a well-matched pairing for general workstation use, where neither component will consistently hold the other back to a significant degree.

The integrated UHD Graphics 730 provides a basic display output for troubleshooting or non-GPU tasks.

The GPU requires a 550 W suggested PSU, which is a moderate requirement for a high-end workstation card. The card itself has a TDP of 230 W and requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector. It measures 267 mm in length and 111 mm in height, fitting a standard dual-slot layout. The display outputs include 4x DisplayPort 1.4a and 1x USB Type-C, supporting multiple high-resolution monitors.

A sensible next upgrade for this system would be to increase memory capacity, as the CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5, but the specific memory bandwidth is not listed in the data. If the user is on DDR4, migrating to DDR5 could improve memory-bound workloads, though the performance impact is not quantified in the benchmark data. For the GPU, an upgrade to a newer architecture with higher DirectX 12 scores would improve gaming performance, as the current GPU’s DirectX 12 score of 59 is a weak point. However, the 16 GB VRAM and compute capabilities of the Quadro RTX 5000 remain adequate for many professional tasks. The platform’s PCIe Gen 5 support ensures that future GPUs and NVMe drives will not be bottlenecked by the interface.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU’s strong single-core score of 3240 in Cinebench R23 is sufficient to drive high frame rates in esports titles.
