GRID P6-4Q vs Quadro P1000: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GRID P6-4Q

2015

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($2,000 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Measures 1mm instead of 145mm, a 144mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌150% higher power demand at 100W vs 40W.

Quadro P1000

2017

Why buy it

✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).
✅Draws 40W instead of 100W, a 60W reduction.
✅More future proof: Pascal (2016−2021) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2017 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.2 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $2,000 MSRP).
❌14400% longer card at 145mm vs 1mm.
