Performance Analysis
The 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating of the Quadro P6000 exceeds the 12 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating of the RTX 2000 Ada by a small margin yet the absence of published FP16 figures for both cards limits direct low precision comparisons. The 191.9 TFLOPS FP8 figure with sparsity available on the RTX 2000 Ada enables accelerated sparse tensor operations unavailable on the Quadro P6000. Memory bandwidth of 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000 supports larger batch sizes than the 224 GB/s bandwidth on the RTX 2000 Ada during memory bound workloads. The 24 GB capacity on the Quadro P6000 further accommodates models that exceed the 16 GB capacity of the RTX 2000 Ada.
