Performance Analysis

The FP32 performance of the RTX A2000 reaches 8 TFLOPS while the Quadro RTX 4000 reaches 7.1 TFLOPS. This 8 to 7.1 ratio indicates a modest advantage for the RTX A2000 in general compute workloads. FP16 figures cannot be compared directly because the Quadro RTX 4000 lists 57 TFLOPS dense and the RTX A2000 lists 63.9 TFLOPS with sparsity. Memory bandwidth of 416 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 4000 exceeds the 288 GB/s on the RTX A2000 by a ratio of 416 to 288. The higher bandwidth supports larger batch sizes in memory intensive tasks while the lower TDP of 70W on the RTX A2000 reduces overall system power draw compared to 125W.
