Performance Analysis

The FP32 dense performance of 12 TFLOPS on the RTX 2000 Ada exceeds the 8.9 TFLOPS dense on the Quadro P5000. Memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s on the Quadro P5000 supports larger batch sizes than the 224 GB/s on the RTX 2000 Ada in memory bound tasks. The FP8 figure with sparsity of 191.9 TFLOPS applies only to the RTX 2000 Ada. Training workloads benefit from the higher dense FP32 throughput on the RTX 2000 Ada while inference tasks may favor the bandwidth advantage on the Quadro P5000 for certain data movement patterns. Power efficiency favors the RTX 2000 Ada at 70W TDP versus 180W TDP on the Quadro P5000.

When to Choose the Quadro P5000

The Quadro P5000 suits workloads that require the higher memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s for data intensive operations. Scientific computing tasks that remain memory bound gain from this bandwidth despite the older Pascal architecture and higher TDP of 180W.

When to Choose the RTX 2000 Ada

The RTX 2000 Ada suits workloads that prioritize power efficiency at 70W TDP along with the higher dense FP32 throughput of 12 TFLOPS. Inference and fine tuning tasks benefit from the Ada Lovelace architecture and PCIe 4.0 interconnect in constrained power environments.
