Performance Analysis

The RTX 5080 delivers 112.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 compared with no published FP16 figure for the Quadro P5000 while the RTX 5080 also supplies 56.3 TFLOPS FP32 against the Quadro P5000 8.9 TFLOPS FP32. This dense FP16 to dense FP16 gap indicates the RTX 5080 can sustain larger batch sizes during inference workloads that rely on half precision. The RTX 5080 further lists 225.1 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity against the absence of any sparsity figure for the Quadro P5000 so sparse workloads on the RTX 5080 scale accordingly higher than dense workloads alone.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the Quadro P5000 and the RTX 5080. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
  • Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
  • The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
