Performance Analysis

The FP32 dense performance of 12.6 TFLOPS on the Quadro P6000 stands at roughly one third the 39.6 TFLOPS dense figure of the RTX 4500 Ada. This gap implies longer iteration times for compute heavy workloads on the older card when both operate under dense FP32 conditions. Identical 432 GB/s bandwidth on each GPU supports equivalent data movement rates and therefore similar batch size constraints in memory bound scenarios. The RTX 4500 Ada also lists 634 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity while the Quadro P6000 provides no sparsity figure for any precision.
