When to Choose the L4
The L4 suits workloads that require 24 GB VRAM capacity together with 72 W power draw. Its 30.3 TFLOPS FP32 rating supports larger batch sizes than the 6.5 TFLOPS FP32 rating of the RTX 2060 in memory intensive tasks.
When to Choose the RTX 2060
The RTX 2060 suits systems limited to PCIe 3.0 interconnects. Its 336 GB per s memory bandwidth exceeds the 300 GB per s bandwidth of the L4 in bandwidth sensitive applications that fit within 12 GB VRAM.
Use Cases
The L4 supplies 24 GB VRAM and 30.3 TFLOPS FP32 for larger models than the 12 GB and 6.5 TFLOPS FP32 on the RTX 2060.
The L4 provides dense FP16 at 121 TFLOPS and 24 GB capacity that exceed the published specifications of the RTX 2060.
The L4 72 W TDP and 24 GB VRAM enable sustained fine tuning runs that exceed the 160 W TDP and 12 GB limit of the RTX 2060.
Both GPUs handle diffusion workloads yet the L4 24 GB VRAM supports higher resolutions than the 12 GB maximum on the RTX 2060.
The L4 30.3 TFLOPS FP32 rating completes scientific kernels faster than the 6.5 TFLOPS FP32 rating of the RTX 2060.
