Performance Analysis
Dense FP32 throughput reaches 65.3 TFLOPS on the RTX 5000 Ada compared with 12.6 TFLOPS on the Quadro P6000. This difference supports faster execution of dense FP32 operations during training and inference steps. Memory bandwidth of 576 GB/s on the RTX 5000 Ada versus 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000 permits larger batch sizes in bandwidth limited workloads. The RTX 5000 Ada also lists 1,044.4 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity while the Quadro P6000 lists no FP8 figure. These metrics indicate the RTX 5000 Ada handles dense FP32 and sparse FP8 workloads with greater headroom than the Quadro P6000.
