Performance Analysis
The Quadro P6000 delivers 12.6 TFLOPS FP32 while the RTX A2000 delivers 8 TFLOPS FP32. This FP32 difference favors the Quadro P6000 for dense floating point operations in scientific computing. The RTX A2000 provides 63.9 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity which has no direct counterpart on the Quadro P6000 since FP16 is not published by the vendor. Memory bandwidth of 432 GB/s on the Quadro P6000 exceeds 288 GB/s on the RTX A2000 and supports larger batch sizes in memory bound tasks. The 24 GB VRAM on the Quadro P6000 versus 6-12 GB on the RTX A2000 further influences capacity for large models.
