Performance Analysis

Compute performance differs markedly: the RTX 4080 SUPER achieves 48.7 TFLOPS in both FP16 and FP32, compared to 12.6 TFLOPS on the Quadro P6000, enabling approximately 3.9 times faster training and inference in half-precision and single-precision workloads common in deep learning. This delta accelerates model convergence and reduces iteration times significantly. Memory bandwidth of 717 GB/s on the RTX 4080 SUPER supports larger batch sizes than the P6000's 432 GB/s, minimizing data transfer bottlenecks during training. However, the Quadro P6000's 24 GB VRAM exceeds the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB, allowing single-GPU handling of larger models without sharding, which proves advantageous in inference for oversized datasets.
