Performance Analysis
Compute capabilities show the Quadro P6000 ahead with 12.6 TFLOPS in both FP16 and FP32, exceeding the GTX 1080 Ti's 11.3 TFLOPS by 12 percent. Without tensor cores, both GPUs process training and inference at full FP32 rates, suiting older models but lagging modern accelerators. The P6000 edge accelerates compute-bound training iterations slightly faster.
Memory traits define practical differences: the P6000 24 GB VRAM enables batch sizes up to twice those of the 11 GB GTX 1080 Ti, minimizing out-of-memory issues in fine-tuning or large-model inference. The GTX 1080 Ti counters with 484 GB/s bandwidth, 12 percent above the P6000 432 GB/s: this boosts throughput in bandwidth-limited scenarios like high-volume inference. Both 250 W TDPs yield similar efficiency in cloud power costs.
