Quadro GV100 vs TITAN Xp: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Quadro GV100

2018

Why buy it

  • 32.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 166.7% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (32 GB vs 12 GB).
  • TITAN Xp is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so Quadro GV100 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 32 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 650.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $8,999 MSRPvs$1,199 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 2.1 vs 15.6 G3D/$ ($8,999 MSRP vs $1,199 MSRP).

TITAN Xp

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $7,800 less on MSRP ($1,199 MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).
  • Delivers 640.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 15.6 vs 2.1 G3D/$ ($1,199 MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro GV100 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 12 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2017 hardware with 12 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Quadro GV100 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 32.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.4% in PassMark G3D (19,013 vs 18,752), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Quadro GV100 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 32 GB vs 12 GB of VRAM, a 12nm process instead of 16nm, and a newer 2018 generation instead of 2017. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
TITAN Xp makes the most sense to buy today. It is $7,800 cheaper on MSRP at $1,199 vs $8,999, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 640.2% (15.6 vs 2.1), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, TITAN Xp is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Quadro GV100 has the stronger long-term case.
