What actually differs
The T4 is the newer part: Turing, launched in 2019, against the Quadro RTX 6000's Turing from 2018. Newer architectures typically add lower-precision formats and better throughput per watt, so check the precision rows your workload actually uses.
Dense throughput for the Quadro RTX 6000 against the T4: FP32 16 vs 8.1 TFLOPS, FP16 131 vs 65 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 24 GB against 16 GB, fed at 672 GB/s versus 300 GB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.
Power budgets are 295 W for the Quadro RTX 6000 and 70 W for the T4. At FP32 that works out to 0.06 against 0.12 TFLOPS per watt.
For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
