Performance Analysis
The FP32 performance difference shows the RTX 3080 at 29.8 TFLOPS compared to the Quadro P4000 at 5.3 TFLOPS which produces a ratio of approximately 5.6 times higher throughput on the newer card. Memory bandwidth of 760 GB/s on the RTX 3080 versus 243 GB/s on the Quadro P4000 allows larger batch sizes during training and inference by moving data more efficiently between memory and compute units. The RTX 3080 provides dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS while the Quadro P4000 has no published FP16 figure so direct dense FP16 comparison favors the RTX 3080 by a substantial margin. The 760 GB/s bandwidth figure supports higher sustained utilization in memory intensive operations than the 243 GB/s figure permits.

When to Choose the Quadro P4000
The Quadro P4000 suits environments where power consumption must stay at 105W and workloads fit within 8 GB GDDR5 VRAM with 243 GB/s bandwidth. Basic scientific computing or lighter inference tasks that do not require the 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 of newer cards benefit from the lower TDP and PCIe 3.0 interconnect of the Quadro P4000.
When to Choose the RTX 3080
The RTX 3080 fits scenarios that demand 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 or dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS along with 760 GB/s bandwidth for larger models. Training and inference jobs that scale with the 10-12 GB GDDR6X VRAM and PCIe 4.0 interconnect gain from the higher throughput despite the 320W TDP.
Use Cases
The RTX 3080 supplies 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 and dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS which exceed the Quadro P4000 capabilities for model training.
Dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS and 760 GB/s bandwidth on the RTX 3080 support faster inference throughput than the Quadro P4000 specifications allow.
The 10-12 GB GDDR6X VRAM and 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 on the RTX 3080 handle fine-tuning workloads more effectively than the 8 GB and 5.3 TFLOPS on the Quadro P4000.
Higher memory bandwidth of 760 GB/s and dense FP16 performance of 59.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 3080 accelerate image generation compared to the Quadro P4000.
The Quadro P4000 at 105W TDP works for lighter scientific tasks while the RTX 3080 at 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 suits heavier computations.
