LostPhone wrote All the other comments ignore why people buy Quadros in the first place.

Double precision FLOPs
32 bit color depth.
Lots of VRAM (25GB in this case)

So it all depends on how important those things are to what you're doing.

We're not comparing a Quadro vs a GeForce GPU of the same tier or generation though. The Quadro P4000 has 8GB of VRAM first of all, not 25GB. The RTX 2080 also has 8GB VRAM, but it's GDDR6 not that that will be a huge benefit.

The Quadro P4000 is inferior to the RTX 2080 in terms of performance, regardless of whether we're talking FP32(single precision) or FP64(double precision). Yes, the Quadro is technically optimised for the workload but it is a far inferior GPU.

Alternatively, Newegg have this Gigabyte RTX 2080 for $700;

I definitely wouldn't be paying $840 for the Asus Dual RTX 2080, but for $740 it's not terrible. I'd probably still prefer to save the $40 though and get the EVGA or Gigabyte variant for $700.


ok i got a question for you. when it comes to VR capabilities there is lots of info via google and youtube that can help me make sure i have a pc that can handle VR but one thing confuses me when shopping for GPUs: some GPUs say they are VR ready and some don't even mention VR. the only major difference between the 700 dollar GPU and the more expensive counterpart i showed you is that it says "VR ready". why would the 700.00 dollar version you showed me be any less VR ready? i'm asking because i'm hoping to have to avoid shelling out an extra 100+ bucks just so i can use VR lol

Any RTX 2080 is "VR Ready". It's just marketing. Same as some of the boxes for RTX 2080s will tell you all about the RGB LEDs they have, or that it has 8GB GDDR6, or some have even had NVidia Ansel stickers on the box- a feature which is available on all GTX/RTX cards from the GTX 650 onwards.
