Performance Analysis

This 34 percent gain in dense FP32 supports modestly faster single precision computations. The dense FP16 rating of 57 TFLOPS on the RTX 4000 enables accelerated training and inference for models that utilize half precision formats unavailable on the P4000. Memory bandwidth at 416 GB/s versus 243 GB/s allows the RTX 4000 to sustain larger batch sizes during inference or fine tuning without memory bottlenecks. The 105W TDP of the P4000 versus 125W on the RTX 4000 influences power limited deployments where the older card maintains efficiency in basic rendering or compute.

When to Choose the Quadro P4000

The Quadro P4000 suits environments constrained to 105W power budgets. Its 5.3 TFLOPS FP32 handles legacy applications that do not require dense FP16 acceleration. The 243 GB/s bandwidth remains adequate for workloads that fit within smaller batch constraints on Pascal architecture.

When to Choose the Quadro RTX 4000

Its 7.1 TFLOPS FP32 combined with Turing features accelerates modern inference and training pipelines beyond the 5.3 TFLOPS limit of the P4000.

Use Cases

LLM Training
Quadro RTX 4000

The RTX 4000 supplies 57 TFLOPS dense FP16 absent from the P4000 while providing 7.1 TFLOPS FP32 versus 5.3 TFLOPS.

LLM Inference
Quadro RTX 4000

The RTX 4000 416 GB/s bandwidth supports larger batches than the P4000 243 GB/s during inference at 57 TFLOPS dense FP16.

Fine-tuning
Quadro RTX 4000

The RTX 4000 57 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 416 GB/s bandwidth enable efficient fine tuning compared with the P4000 limits.

Stable Diffusion
Quadro RTX 4000

The RTX 4000 7.1 TFLOPS FP32 and 416 GB/s bandwidth handle diffusion workloads faster than the P4000 5.3 TFLOPS and 243 GB/s.

Scientific Computing
Quadro P4000

The P4000 105W TDP and 5.3 TFLOPS FP32 suffice for single precision scientific tasks without the higher 125W draw of the RTX 4000.
