Performance Analysis
The 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating on the GTX 1080 exceeds the 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating on the Quadro P4000 by a ratio of 1.68. This difference affects training and inference workloads that rely on dense FP32 operations. Memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s versus 243 GB/s allows the GTX 1080 to support larger batch sizes in memory bound scenarios. The Quadro P4000 maintains lower TDP at 105W compared to 180W on the GTX 1080. No FP16 figures are published by the vendor for either GPU so comparisons remain limited to dense FP32 values.

When to Choose the GTX 1080
The GTX 1080 suits workloads that require the higher 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 320 GB/s bandwidth. Applications benefit from the 8 to 11 GB GDDR5X capacity when handling larger data sets. The 180W TDP remains acceptable in systems with adequate cooling.
When to Choose the Quadro P4000
The Quadro P4000 fits environments where 105W TDP reduces power consumption compared to 180W. The 8 GB GDDR5 configuration meets needs for moderate memory demands at 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32. PCIe 3.0 connectivity matches the GTX 1080 in compatible systems.
Use Cases
The GTX 1080 supplies 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 against 5.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 on the Quadro P4000.
Higher 320 GB/s bandwidth on the GTX 1080 supports larger batch sizes than 243 GB/s on the Quadro P4000.
Both GPUs share Pascal architecture and PCIe 3.0 interconnect with 8 GB minimum VRAM.
The Quadro P4000 operates at 105W TDP versus 180W on the GTX 1080.
