Performance Analysis
FP16 and FP32 performance on the RTX 3080 Ti reaches 29.8 TFLOPS, exceeding the Quadro P4000's 5.3 TFLOPS by over five times. This disparity accelerates training and inference: deep learning models train roughly five times faster on RTX 3080 Ti, reducing epochs from days to hours. Inference latency drops similarly, enabling real-time applications. Memory bandwidth of 760 GB/s on RTX 3080 Ti versus 243 GB/s on P4000 allows larger batch sizes without bottlenecks; P4000 limits batches to smaller sizes, increasing per-sample overhead in training loops. The RTX 3080 Ti's 320W TDP demands robust cooling compared to P4000's 105W, but yields higher sustained throughput in prolonged compute sessions.
