Performance Analysis

The RTX 4080 SUPER's 48.7 TFLOPS in both FP16 and FP32 enables faster model training and inference compared to the RTX 5060 Ti's 23.1 TFLOPS: training large language models benefits from double the compute throughput, reducing epochs by up to 50 percent in half-precision workflows. Equal FP16 to FP32 ratios in both indicate balanced tensor core utilization for mixed-precision tasks.

Higher 717 GB/s bandwidth on the RTX 4080 SUPER supports larger batch sizes without memory bottlenecks, ideal for datasets exceeding 12 GB VRAM limits on the RTX 5060 Ti. The RTX 5060 Ti's GDDR7 memory offers potential efficiency gains in Blackwell, but its 448 GB/s limits high-throughput inference. Power draw differences mean the RTX 4080 SUPER demands more cooling, while the 180W TDP suits dense cloud clusters.

Overall, spec deltas favor RTX 4080 SUPER for compute-intensive jobs, with 16 GB VRAM handling bigger models before swapping.
