Performance Analysis
The FP32 dense performance of the RTX 4000 Ada reaches 26.7 TFLOPS compared with 7.1 TFLOPS on the Quadro RTX 4000. This difference indicates that the RTX 4000 Ada processes FP32 operations at a higher rate for training and inference workloads that rely on dense FP32 arithmetic. The Quadro RTX 4000 supplies 57 TFLOPS FP16 dense while the RTX 4000 Ada lists no FP16 figure. Memory bandwidth of 416 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 4000 exceeds the 360 GB/s on the RTX 4000 Ada so batch size scaling may favor the older card in bandwidth limited scenarios. The RTX 4000 Ada provides 427.6 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity for workloads that accept sparsity.
