I'm thinking it won't even be anywhere near 1070, probably more of a 980 because of different driver optimization between GTX and Quadro. I'm pretty excited what the results are going to be either way.
750ti speeds predicted
Does anyone know double precision TFLOPS yet?
You mean after he drops it?

Workstation cards rarely work good for gaming.
Uselessly low, 1/64th ratio or somesuch.
In case that is true, Nvidia would have a $6000 worth of junk in their website. Ye ol' W9100 puts out 2.62TFLOPS DP.
Went on a search... seems to be pretty bad as Nvidia does not want to tell anyone.

GP102 is a GP100 with castrated FP64, no NVlink and GDDR5X instead of HBM.
Mostly aimed at graphics work and FP32 and whatnot.
I'm more interested in how people are willing to pay 1200 dollars for a sub 500mm^2 cut down die...
I do not think the M6000 will cost 1200. More like 4000.
HOLD ON!
Is Nvidia doing the recycled name shit they did on the Titan X(P) on their Quadro cards aswell?
If that thing is called M6000 and not P6000, then yeah.
Oh, I thought this was about the quadro P104, sorry.
AMDs RadeonPro makes more sense then.
Quadros do have an option to be turned into a gaming card, in a sense by using the 'Game Development' profile inside the control center, if they've never used a Quadro before their Bench tests are probably going to be useless. And if they're not testing games the Quadros tend to get better performance when switched into ' Workstation App -Dynamic Streaming' that's inside DCC apps, though. But where I say switching a Quadro into Game Dev profile mode won't all of a sudden turn it into a Titan, but it's suppose to give semi-decent performance.
People tend to loose the focus of what Quadros and Firepro's are actually meant to do, and what they are for, mainly I've used them before for the stable OpenGL drivers they provide, and they offer good performance and also display everything in a viewport correctly, and they're also very good at processing wireframe models, compared to GTX cards for instance, so they're very good at say cleaning up scan data.
I went off on a bit of a tangent here, but this comes from someone who has both Quadro, and GTX cards, and sees the pros and cons of both when used in a real 3D content creation environment.
Also with Quadro's you can have a GTX and a Quadro in the same system, and the Quadro is smart enough to do the OpenGL processing when needed and leave DirectX down to a GTX card, it's kinda nifty.
I was referencing CES 2015 when Linus kept dropping things. #LinusDropTips

I really hope the website geizhals.de got the specs wrong on the new Quadros because the list them to have a whopping double precision flops of... 367 gflops on the P6000 and 277 for the P5000, which at least for the P5000 is equal to the 1080. Lets compare that to the original Titan... Its got 1570. These specs seriously cant be real
In case those numbers are true and accurate, AMD would lead double precision by 2.3TFLOPS.
Nvidia really is all about speed now. But 7 TFLOPS single precision are not worth a dime when you need double precision. AMD for simulation tasks once more!
Performance is Titan X level, however, price gap is due to the 24gb ECC memory which is crucial for rendering task, and probably the server grade components, meaning, the components on the PCB are guaranteed to run 24/7, unlike consumer grade cards which aren't certified for. I would've love to see it run a ridiculously modded Skyrim though, but Linus's ADHD style of content delivery and reality-tv-show style persona shits all over my expectation for a good content.
RadeonPro SSG anyone?
