Performance Analysis

The Quadro RTX 5000 delivers 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 11.2 TFLOPS FP32 while the RTX 4060 does not publish an FP16 figure and instead lists 15.1 TFLOPS FP32. This FP32 difference means the RTX 4060 completes general compute tasks at a 15.1 to 11.2 ratio relative to the Quadro RTX 5000. The Quadro RTX 5000 further provides 178.4 TOPS dense INT8. Memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 5000 versus 272 GB/s on the RTX 4060 allows larger batch sizes in memory bound operations. The RTX 4060 supplies 242 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity which has no direct dense counterpart on the Quadro RTX 5000.
