NVIDIA P106-100: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started P106-100 sales 19 June 2017. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Pascal architecture and made with 16 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 6 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 8.01 GHz are supplied, and together with 192 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 192.2 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 250 mm. 1x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 120 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 16.21% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
