Quadro P5000: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The NVIDIA Quadro P5000 is the flagship of the 2017 Pascal workstation generation — 2048 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR5, the top GPU option of its year's 17-inch professional platforms. This guide covers its 21 benchmarked games at 1080p and the single catalog machine that carries it.

Where the Quadro P5000 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 58.2 ranks it 92nd of 341 — the top third. The neighbors: the GeForce RTX 3050 4GB Laptop (58.5), GTX 1080 with Max-Q Design (58.3) and RTX A1000 6GB (58.3) above; the RTX A2000 8GB (58), Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q (57.9) and RTX A3000 (57.9) below. Sitting level with a Max-Q GTX 1080 and ahead of several 2020-2022 professional cards — a strong position for 2016 silicon, earned the honest way: 16GB of memory and 8.9 teraflops of rated compute.

What the chip brings

Pascal architecture on the 16nm process: 2048 CUDA cores rated at 8.87 teraflops, 16GB of GDDR5 — the largest memory budget on any single-listing record in this batch — inside a 100W envelope, CUDA flagged. Public benchmarks: PassMark 12640, GeekBench Vulkan 54907 and OpenCL 52736. The 16GB buffer was workstation-grade in its day and remains the card's distinguishing asset for texture-heavy and multi-viewport work.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table is deep and even: Valorant at 190 fps, Counter-Strike 2 at 170, Fortnite 140, DOTA 2 130, For Honor 121 (128 on medium), Forza Horizon 4 120, Battlefield 5 110, Far Cry 5 100, Rise of the Tomb Raider and The Witcher 3 at 98 — capped quartet at its ceilings. The modern block holds: Forza Horizon 5 at 85, Resident Evil 4 remake 75, Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus at 60 on high. Across the board this is a 1080p-high card with headroom to spare, in 2017 titles and 2023 ones alike.

Laptops that carry it

One catalog listing matches: the Dell Precision 7720 (2016) at $390 — the same 17-inch flagship that carries the P4000 record, offered with this as its top GPU option. The listing's gaming index of 80 and USComp score of 59 describe a platform that games as well as it works; the median best-GPU of 58.2 matches this chip exactly. One chassis, two Pascal rungs, and this is the one to want for memory-bound work.

Bottom line

The P5000 in a $390 Precision 7720 is arguably the peak value point of this catalog's used workstation tier: flagship-adjacent gaming performance, 16GB of professional VRAM, and a game table that clears high presets a decade deep. Against its sibling the choice is workload-driven — the P4000 already games identically at 1080p, so the P5000's premium buys memory for viewport and compute work, not frame rate. For buyers whose use mixes serious CUDA or 3D duty with after-hours gaming, this record is the strongest single-listing recommendation in the batch.
