Performance Analysis
The FP32 performance difference shows the A30 at 10.3 TFLOPS compared with the RTX 2060 at 6.5 TFLOPS which indicates greater throughput for the A30 in single precision workloads. The A30 also lists dense FP16 at 165 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 330 TFLOPS while the RTX 2060 does not publish FP16 figures so direct comparison is limited to FP32. Memory bandwidth of 933 GB/s on the A30 versus 336 GB/s on the RTX 2060 affects the size of data batches that can move efficiently during training or inference steps. The A30 TDP of 165 W sits close to the RTX 2060 TDP of 160 W yet the A30 supplies 24 GB HBM2 which supports larger resident datasets than the 6 to 12 GB GDDR6 on the RTX 2060.
