Performance Analysis
Dense FP16 performance reaches 40.3 TFLOPS on the RTX 2080 compared with 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the V100. This gap means the V100 completes matrix multiplications in training and inference at a higher rate when operating in dense FP16 mode. The RTX 2080 dense FP32 figure of 10 TFLOPS remains below the V100 dense FP32 figure of 15.7 TFLOPS so similar workloads finish faster on the V100. Memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s on the RTX 2080 versus 900 GB/s on the V100 determines the maximum batch sizes that avoid stalls during data movement. The dense INT8 rating of 161.1 TOPS applies only to the RTX 2080 as no corresponding figure exists for the V100.

When to Choose the RTX 2080
The RTX 2080 fits scenarios that require lower power draw of 215W and dense INT8 throughput of 161.1 TOPS. Workloads that stay within 8-11 GB memory limits benefit from its GDDR6 configuration and 448 GB/s bandwidth. The card suits inference tasks where dense FP16 at 40.3 TFLOPS meets requirements without exceeding thermal or power budgets.
When to Choose the V100
The V100 matches cases that demand dense FP16 at 125 TFLOPS and memory capacity up to 32 GB. Training sessions gain from the 900 GB/s bandwidth and 15.7 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating when larger batches or higher precision throughput matter. The 300W TDP supports sustained operation in server environments that prioritize these metrics.
Use Cases
The V100 supplies 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 against 40.3 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the RTX 2080 so training completes with higher throughput.
Dense FP16 at 125 TFLOPS and 900 GB/s bandwidth on the V100 support larger batch sizes than the RTX 2080 figures of 40.3 TFLOPS and 448 GB/s.
The V100 16-32 GB HBM2 memory and 15.7 TFLOPS dense FP32 allow fine-tuning runs that exceed RTX 2080 limits of 8-11 GB and 10 TFLOPS.
The RTX 2080 TDP of 215W and dense INT8 at 161.1 TOPS fit consumer inference workloads within 8-11 GB memory.
The V100 900 GB/s bandwidth and 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 handle large scientific datasets more effectively than the RTX 2080 448 GB/s and 40.3 TFLOPS.
Frequently Asked Questions
