Performance Analysis

The FP32 rating of 48.7 TFLOPS on the RTX 4080 exceeds the 12.6 TFLOPS figure on the Quadro P6000 by a factor derived directly from those two numbers. This gap influences training and inference runtimes when workloads rely on single precision arithmetic. Memory bandwidth of 717 GB/s versus 432 GB/s on the respective cards affects achievable batch sizes because higher transfer rates allow larger data movements per unit time before memory capacity limits intervene. The RTX 4080 lists dense FP16 performance at 97.5 TFLOPS and FP16 performance with sparsity at 195 TFLOPS. No FP16 value appears for the Quadro P6000 so comparisons remain limited to the published FP32 numbers. The 16 GB capacity on the RTX 4080 versus 24 GB on the Quadro P6000 requires workload adjustments when model size exceeds the smaller buffer even though bandwidth favors the RTX 4080.

When to Choose the Quadro P6000

The Quadro P6000 suits tasks that fit within its 24 GB GDDR5X capacity and that do not require FP16 figures beyond published data. Its 250W TDP and PCIe 3.0 interconnect align with systems that prioritize lower power draw or older slot compatibility over peak throughput. Workloads limited to the 12.6 TFLOPS FP32 rating benefit from the larger memory pool when batch sizes stay modest.

When to Choose the RTX 4080

The RTX 4080 fits workloads that exploit its 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 rating along with dense FP16 at 97.5 TFLOPS. Its 717 GB/s bandwidth supports larger batch sizes compared with the 432 GB/s alternative when memory capacity of 16 GB remains sufficient. Newer PCIe 4.0 connectivity pairs with the 320W TDP for installations that accommodate higher power and faster interconnects.

Use Cases

LLM Training
RTX 4080

The RTX 4080 supplies 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 and dense FP16 at 97.5 TFLOPS whereas the Quadro P6000 lists only 12.6 TFLOPS FP32.

LLM Inference
RTX 4080

Dense FP16 performance of 97.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 4080 exceeds any published figure for the Quadro P6000 and pairs with 717 GB/s bandwidth.

Fine-tuning
RTX 4080

The 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 rating and 717 GB/s bandwidth on the RTX 4080 enable faster iteration than the 12.6 TFLOPS and 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000.

Stable Diffusion
RTX 4080

The RTX 4080 provides dense FP16 at 97.5 TFLOPS together with 717 GB/s bandwidth that support image generation workloads more effectively than the Quadro P6000 specifications.

Scientific Computing
Either

The Quadro P6000 offers 24 GB memory while the RTX 4080 delivers 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 so selection depends on whether capacity or throughput dominates the calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FP32 performance difference between these GPUs?▾

The RTX 4080 reaches 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 while the Quadro P6000 reaches 12.6 TFLOPS FP32. This difference follows directly from the published specifications.

Which GPU has higher memory bandwidth?▾

The RTX 4080 lists 717 GB/s memory bandwidth compared with 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000. The difference influences data movement rates during computation.

What are the TDP values for each card?▾

The Quadro P6000 carries a 250W TDP rating and the RTX 4080 carries a 320W TDP rating. These power figures accompany the listed performance numbers.

Can FP16 performance be compared directly?▾

The RTX 4080 publishes dense FP16 at 97.5 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 195 TFLOPS. The Quadro P6000 provides no FP16 value so direct comparison uses only the FP32 numbers of 12.6 TFLOPS and 48.7 TFLOPS.
