Performance Analysis
FP16 dense performance measures 59.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 3080 versus 65 TFLOPS on the T4. The FP16 dense to FP32 ratio equals 2.0 on the RTX 3080 and 8.0 on the T4. Training workloads that rely on FP32 therefore favor the RTX 3080 at 29.8 TFLOPS while inference steps that exploit FP16 dense favor the T4 at 65 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 760 GB/s on the RTX 3080 versus 320 GB/s on the T4 permits larger batch sizes during operations that move substantial tensor data. INT8 dense performance reaches 238 TOPS on the RTX 3080 against 130 TOPS on the T4. Sparsity figures apply only to the RTX 3080 at 119 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity and 476 TOPS INT8 with sparsity.

When to Choose the RTX 3080
The RTX 3080 suits workloads that demand 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 and 760 GB/s bandwidth. Scientific computing and training tasks benefit from these figures over the T4 specifications. Higher INT8 dense throughput at 238 TOPS further supports acceleration of quantized operations.
When to Choose the T4
The T4 suits deployments constrained to 70W TDP with 16 GB VRAM. Inference steps that utilize 65 TFLOPS FP16 dense gain efficiency under the lower power limit compared with the 320W TDP of the RTX 3080.
Use Cases
The RTX 3080 supplies 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 and 760 GB/s bandwidth that exceed T4 values.
The T4 provides 16 GB VRAM and 65 TFLOPS FP16 dense under a 70W TDP.
The RTX 3080 delivers 59.5 TFLOPS FP16 dense together with 760 GB/s bandwidth.
The RTX 3080 provides 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 which surpasses the 8.1 TFLOPS of the T4.
