Performance Analysis
The FP32 rating of 8.9 TFLOPS on the Quadro P5000 stands against the 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 rating on the RTX 3080 which indicates the latter delivers more than three times the dense floating point throughput for training and inference tasks. The RTX 3080 also lists dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS and sparse FP16 at 119 TFLOPS whereas the Quadro P5000 has no published FP16 figure so direct dense to dense comparison favors the RTX 3080 by a wide margin. Memory bandwidth of 288 GB per s on the Quadro P5000 versus 760 GB per s on the RTX 3080 allows the RTX 3080 to support larger batch sizes in memory bound operations while the 180 W TDP of the Quadro P5000 remains lower than the 320 W TDP of the RTX 3080.

When to Choose the Quadro P5000
The Quadro P5000 suits workloads that require the full 16 GB of GDDR5X memory such as certain scientific computing jobs that exceed the 10 to 12 GB capacity of the RTX 3080. Its 180 W TDP also fits environments where power limits constrain hardware selection over the 320 W TDP of the RTX 3080.
When to Choose the RTX 3080
Its 760 GB per s bandwidth further supports larger batch processing than the 288 GB per s bandwidth available on the Quadro P5000.
Use Cases
The RTX 3080 supplies 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 and dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS which exceed the 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 of the Quadro P5000.
Dense FP16 at 59.5 TFLOPS and 760 GB per s bandwidth on the RTX 3080 enable higher throughput than the Quadro P5000 specifications allow.
The RTX 3080 provides 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 along with dense INT8 at 238 TOPS which support faster fine tuning iterations than the Quadro P5000.
Higher memory bandwidth of 760 GB per s and FP32 of 29.8 TFLOPS on the RTX 3080 improve generation speeds over the Quadro P5000.
The Quadro P5000 supplies 16 GB of memory which exceeds the 10 to 12 GB capacity of the RTX 3080 for large dataset requirements.
