Performance Analysis

The RTX 4080 SUPER variant achieves 48.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 48.7 TFLOPS dense FP32 while the RTX 3090 Ti variant reaches 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP32. This dense FP16 advantage of 13.1 TFLOPS on the RTX 4080 SUPER supports faster training iterations and higher inference throughput on models that stay within 16 GB. Memory bandwidth stands at 936 GB/s for the RTX 3090 Ti family and 717 GB/s for the RTX 4080 SUPER family so the higher bandwidth on the RTX 3090 Ti allows larger batch sizes in memory intensive operations despite lower tensor throughput. TDP figures of 350 W for the RTX 3090 Ti family and 320 W for the RTX 4080 SUPER family indicate the RTX 4080 SUPER consumes less power while delivering the higher dense FP16 rate.
