Performance Analysis

The RTX 5080 provides 112.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance while the Quadro RTX 4000 reaches 57 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance. This difference means the RTX 5080 supports larger batch sizes during inference workloads that rely on dense FP16 operations. Memory bandwidth of 960 GB/s on the RTX 5080 versus 416 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 4000 further enables higher throughput when moving data for FP32 workloads rated at 56.3 TFLOPS dense on the RTX 5080 compared to 7.1 TFLOPS dense on the Quadro RTX 4000.
