Performance Analysis
The RTX 3090 FP32 figure of 35.6 TFLOPS exceeds the Quadro P5000 FP32 figure of 8.9 TFLOPS by a factor of four. Its dense FP16 rating of 71 TFLOPS supports training and inference steps that the Quadro P5000 cannot quantify because no FP16 value appears in its specifications. Memory bandwidth of 936 GB/s on the RTX 3090 versus 288 GB/s on the Quadro P5000 permits larger batch sizes during operations that move data at those rates. Dense INT8 performance of 284 TOPS on the RTX 3090 further widens the gap for integer workloads compared with the Quadro P5000 where no INT8 value is published.

When to Choose the Quadro P5000
The Quadro P5000 suits environments that require only 180W TDP and 16 GB GDDR5X memory. Its 288 GB/s bandwidth and 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 rating fit legacy PCIe 3.0 systems that cannot accommodate the 350W TDP of the RTX 3090.
When to Choose the RTX 3090
Its dense FP16 rating of 71 TFLOPS and FP32 rating of 35.6 TFLOPS accelerate tasks beyond the 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 limit of the Quadro P5000.
Use Cases
The RTX 3090 supplies 71 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 24 GB memory that exceed the Quadro P5000 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 rating.
The RTX 3090 dense FP16 rating of 71 TFLOPS and 936 GB/s bandwidth support inference steps larger than the Quadro P5000 288 GB/s bandwidth allows.
The RTX 3090 24 GB GDDR6X memory and 35.6 TFLOPS FP32 rating accommodate fine-tuning batches beyond the Quadro P5000 16 GB capacity.
The RTX 3090 936 GB/s bandwidth and 71 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating process diffusion steps faster than the Quadro P5000 288 GB/s bandwidth.
The Quadro P5000 180W TDP fits power-limited nodes while the RTX 3090 35.6 TFLOPS FP32 rating suits nodes that accept 350W TDP.
