Performance Analysis

The RTX 3070 supplies 20.3 TFLOPS FP32 compared with the Quadro P6000 12.6 TFLOPS FP32 value which indicates higher throughput for single precision workloads on the newer card. The RTX 3070 also lists dense FP16 performance at 40.6 TFLOPS and FP16 performance with sparsity at 81.3 TFLOPS while the Quadro P6000 provides no published FP16 figure. Memory bandwidth stands at 448 GB per second on the RTX 3070 versus 432 GB per second on the Quadro P6000 so the RTX 3070 supports modestly larger batch sizes in memory bound operations. The Quadro P6000 TDP reaches 250 W whereas the RTX 3070 TDP reaches 220 W.

When to Choose the Quadro P6000

The Quadro P6000 suits scenarios that require 24 GB of memory for large datasets that exceed the 8 GB capacity of the RTX 3070. Workloads that operate exclusively in FP32 at 12.6 TFLOPS benefit from the higher memory volume even though FP32 throughput remains lower than the 20.3 TFLOPS of the RTX 3070.

When to Choose the RTX 3070

The RTX 3070 suits scenarios that require dense FP16 at 40.6 TFLOPS or FP16 with sparsity at 81.3 TFLOPS for accelerated training and inference steps. The card also provides dense INT8 at 162.6 TOPS and INT8 with sparsity at 325.2 TOPS which the Quadro P6000 does not publish.
