Performance Analysis
Dense FP16 performance measures 125 TFLOPS on the A10 against 59.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 3080. The same dense metric applied to FP32 yields 31.2 TFLOPS versus 29.8 TFLOPS. With sparsity the FP16 figures become 250 TFLOPS and 119 TFLOPS respectively. The 2.1 times higher dense FP16 rating on the A10 supports larger batch sizes during inference when memory capacity of 24 GB is the limiting factor. The RTX 3080 760 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the A10 600 GB/s bandwidth by 27 percent and therefore sustains higher throughput when data movement dominates over compute. INT8 dense throughput reaches 250 TOPS on the A10 and 238 TOPS on the RTX 3080 while sparsity raises these values to 500 TOPS and 476 TOPS. Lower TDP of 150 W on the A10 permits denser server packing than the 320 W TDP of the RTX 3080.

When to Choose the A10
The A10 suits inference workloads that require 24 GB memory capacity and 125 TFLOPS dense FP16. Its 150 W TDP reduces power draw compared with the 320 W TDP of the RTX 3080. Scientific computing tasks that fit within 31.2 TFLOPS FP32 also favor the A10 when energy efficiency matters.
When to Choose the RTX 3080
Its 29.8 TFLOPS FP32 rating remains close to the A10 31.2 TFLOPS rating while the higher bandwidth supports faster data movement in Stable Diffusion training steps.
Use Cases
The A10 24 GB memory capacity accommodates larger models than the RTX 3080 10-12 GB capacity while delivering 125 TFLOPS dense FP16.
The A10 supplies 250 TOPS dense INT8 and 24 GB memory allowing bigger batch sizes than the RTX 3080 238 TOPS dense INT8 and 10-12 GB memory.
Both cards deliver similar FP32 throughput at 31.2 TFLOPS and 29.8 TFLOPS so selection depends on whether 24 GB or 760 GB/s bandwidth is required.
The RTX 3080 760 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the A10 600 GB/s bandwidth and therefore accelerates data movement during image generation steps.
The A10 150 W TDP and 31.2 TFLOPS FP32 rating provide lower power consumption than the RTX 3080 320 W TDP for the same class of FP32 workloads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the FP16 dense ratings?▾
Dense FP16 reaches 125 TFLOPS on the A10 and 59.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 3080. Sparse FP16 reaches 250 TFLOPS and 119 TFLOPS respectively.
Which GPU uses less power?▾
