Quadro P6000 vs RTX 2080

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

PascalvsTuringUpdated 34 days ago

The RTX 2080 wins for the most common dense FP16 training and inference use cases because its 40.3 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and lower 215 W TDP deliver higher throughput per watt than the Quadro P6000 FP32 focused design.

Performance Analysis

The RTX 2080 dense FP16 rating of 40.3 TFLOPS exceeds any published figure for the Quadro P6000 and therefore supports faster dense FP16 training and inference steps on compatible models. The Quadro P6000 12.6 TFLOPS FP32 figure surpasses the RTX 2080 10 TFLOPS FP32 figure and therefore favors FP32 scientific kernels that do not rely on tensor cores. Memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s on the RTX 2080 versus 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000 permits modestly larger batch sizes before hitting memory limits while the 215 W TDP of the RTX 2080 versus 250 W TDP of the Quadro P6000 reduces power draw in dense FP16 workloads.

When to Choose the Quadro P6000

The Quadro P6000 suits workloads that demand 24 GB of VRAM for large scientific computing datasets or FP32 simulations. Its 12.6 TFLOPS FP32 rating exceeds the RTX 2080 rating and therefore benefits precision sensitive codes that stay within the 250 W TDP envelope.

When to Choose the RTX 2080

The RTX 2080 suits workloads that exploit its 40.3 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating for accelerated training or inference. Its 215 W TDP and 448 GB/s bandwidth further favor sustained dense FP16 sessions where power and memory throughput matter more than total VRAM capacity.

Use Cases

LLM Training
RTX 2080

The RTX 2080 dense FP16 rating of 40.3 TFLOPS accelerates training steps compared with the Quadro P6000 where no FP16 figure is published.
