FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the newer part: Pascal (2017) against the Tesla P4's Pascal (2016).

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti carries 3 GB more memory (11 GB against 8 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 484 GB/s against 192 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 250 W against 75 W, and at FP32 the Tesla P4 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
