Performance Analysis
The RTX 4080 delivers 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 compared with 15.1 TFLOPS FP32 on the RTX 4060. This gap implies the RTX 4080 handles larger batch sizes during training and inference when memory bandwidth reaches 717 GB/s versus 272 GB/s on the RTX 4060. The RTX 4080 lists FP16 dense performance at 97.5 TFLOPS while the RTX 4060 figure remains unpublished by the vendor. The RTX 4080 also lists FP8 dense at 194.9 TFLOPS and FP8 with sparsity at 389.8 TFLOPS against the RTX 4060 FP8 with sparsity at 242 TFLOPS. Higher bandwidth on the RTX 4080 supports increased data movement per second and therefore larger effective batch sizes in memory intensive operations.

When to Choose the RTX 4060
The RTX 4060 suits deployments where TDP must stay at 115W and memory bandwidth of 272 GB/s meets workload needs. Scenarios with modest FP32 requirements of 15.1 TFLOPS and limited VRAM demands of 8 to 16 GB GDDR6 favor this card for power constrained environments.
When to Choose the RTX 4080
The RTX 4080 fits tasks that require FP32 throughput of 48.7 TFLOPS together with memory bandwidth of 717 GB/s and 16 GB GDDR6X capacity. Workloads that benefit from FP16 dense at 97.5 TFLOPS or FP8 dense at 194.9 TFLOPS select this GPU for higher computational intensity.
Use Cases
The RTX 4080 supplies 48.7 TFLOPS FP32 and 717 GB/s bandwidth that exceed RTX 4060 values for larger training batches.
FP16 dense performance at 97.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 4080 enables faster inference throughput than the unpublished figure on the RTX 4060.
The RTX 4080 FP8 with sparsity at 389.8 TFLOPS and higher bandwidth support efficient parameter updates compared with 242 TFLOPS on the RTX 4060.
Memory bandwidth of 717 GB/s on the RTX 4080 accommodates larger image batches than the 272 GB/s available on the RTX 4060.
FP32 performance of 48.7 TFLOPS on the RTX 4080 handles compute heavy scientific kernels more effectively than 15.1 TFLOPS on the RTX 4060.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FP32 performance difference between the RTX 4060 and RTX 4080?▾

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the RTX 4060 and the RTX 4080. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
