Quadro P4000 vs RTX 2000 Ada

Dense FP32 throughput on the RTX 2000 Ada measures 12 TFLOPS against 5.3 TFLOPS on the Quadro P4000. This gap implies the RTX 2000 Ada completes matrix operations in training and inference pipelines in roughly half the time when precision remains at FP32. Memory bandwidth of 243 GB/s on the Quadro P4000 exceeds the 224 GB/s figure of the RTX 2000 Ada by a small margin yet the doubled VRAM capacity on the RTX 2000 Ada permits larger batch sizes before swapping occurs. The RTX 2000 Ada also lists 191.9 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity while the Quadro P4000 publishes no equivalent figure. Lower TDP of 70 W on the RTX 2000 Ada reduces power draw during sustained dense FP32 workloads compared with the 105 W requirement of the Quadro P4000.

The Quadro P4000 suits environments that already run Pascal certified drivers and require the higher 243 GB/s memory bandwidth for bandwidth sensitive kernels. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 slots also retain full interconnect performance with this card. Workloads that fit comfortably inside 8 GB VRAM avoid any need to upgrade memory capacity.

Its 16 GB VRAM supports larger models or bigger batch sizes than the 8 GB limit of the Quadro P4000. The 70 W TDP further reduces operating cost in dense deployments.
