Performance Analysis

Compute performance defines the core disparity: the RTX 4080 SUPER achieves 48.7 TFLOPS in FP16 and FP32, nearly three times the Quadro RTX 6000's 16.3 TFLOPS. This accelerates deep learning training and inference, where FP16 workloads benefit most from tensor core efficiency in Ada Lovelace.

Higher memory bandwidth on the RTX 4080 SUPER at 717 GB/s compared to 672 GB/s supports larger batch sizes, reducing training iterations and memory stalls. The Quadro RTX 6000's 24 GB VRAM advantage aids oversized models that overflow the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB, though its older Turing architecture limits overall throughput. TDP rises to 320W on the RTX 4080 SUPER from 260W, matching its power demands.
