Performance Analysis
The RTX 3080 reaches 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 while the Quadro P6000 reaches 12.6 TFLOPS FP32. The RTX 3080 also supplies 59.5 TFLOPS FP16 dense and 119 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity. The Quadro P6000 lists no FP16 figure. The FP16 dense figure on the RTX 3080 therefore stands at twice its own FP32 value. Higher memory bandwidth of 760 GB per second on the RTX 3080 versus 432 GB per second on the Quadro P6000 supports larger batch sizes during both training and inference passes. The INT8 dense rating of 238 TOPS on the RTX 3080 further widens the gap for quantized inference relative to the Quadro P6000.

When to Choose the Quadro P6000
The Quadro P6000 suits workloads that require the full 24 GB GDDR5X capacity and operate within a 250W TDP envelope. Its PCIe 3.0 interface remains adequate for applications that do not demand the higher bandwidth of later generations.
When to Choose the RTX 3080
Its 320W TDP accommodates these higher throughput figures for training and inference tasks that fit inside 10 to 12 GB VRAM.
