Performance Analysis
The dense FP16 performance reaches 89.2 TFLOPS on the Quadro RTX 5000 compared to 71 TFLOPS dense on the RTX 3090. This delta indicates that the Quadro RTX 5000 may handle certain half precision operations more efficiently in dense mode despite lower FP32 figures. Memory bandwidth of 936 GB/s on the RTX 3090 versus 448 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 5000 allows larger batch sizes during training and inference tasks. The INT8 dense performance measures 178.4 TOPS on the Quadro RTX 5000 and 284 TOPS on the RTX 3090. Higher bandwidth supports increased data movement which benefits models that process large datasets in parallel. The FP32 rating of 35.6 TFLOPS on the RTX 3090 exceeds the 11.2 TFLOPS on the Quadro RTX 5000 by a factor of more than three which translates to greater throughput in full precision workloads.
