ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 ProArt 16GB GDDR7 Black
PNY Quadro P600 2GB GDDR5 workstation
The ASUS ProArt RTX 5080 is for serious 4K gamers, 3D artists, and AI tinkerers who want top-tier performance and don't mind paying for it or clearing out space in their case.
Grab the PNY Quadro P600 only if you need a cheap, low-profile card for basic multi-monitor office setups or legacy workstation builds where a 40W TDP and single-slot size are hard requirements.
Key Differences
- Raw performance is not even close: the RTX 5080 scores 35,666 on PassMark G3D versus 3,325 for the Quadro P600. That's a 10.7x gap.
- VRAM is 16GB of GDDR7 on the ASUS versus 2GB of GDDR5 on the PNY. The P600 will choke on anything beyond basic display output or light CAD work.
- The P600 sips power at 40W TDP and fits in a single slot at 0.13 kg. The RTX 5080 pulls 360W, takes up 2.5 slots, and weighs 2.09 kg. Your PSU and case need to be ready for it.
- Ray tracing is completely absent on the P600. The RTX 5080 has full ray tracing support and scores 99/100 in ray tracing benchmarks.
- Owners of the RTX 5080 consistently praise its 4K gaming chops and overclocking headroom, with temps staying around 67-68°C under load. The main gripe is the price, and one unlucky buyer got a dead card out of the box.
