NVIDIA started Tesla P4 sales 13 September 2016. This is a Pascal architecture desktop card based on 16 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.5 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 192.3 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 168 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 75 Watt.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
