FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both launched in 2018, the Quadro RTX 6000 on Turing and the Quadro RTX 8000 on Turing.

The Quadro RTX 8000 carries 24 GB more memory (48 GB against 24 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 672 GB/s against 672 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
