Quadro RTX 5000 vs V100

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

TuringvsVoltaUpdated 33 days ago

The V100 wins for the most common use case of LLM training because its 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 exceeds the Quadro RTX 5000 dense FP16 by a factor of 1.4 and its 900 GB/s bandwidth doubles the Quadro RTX 5000 bandwidth.

Performance Analysis

Dense FP16 performance reaches 125 TFLOPS on the V100 compared with 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the Quadro RTX 5000 producing a 1.4 times advantage for the V100. This gap translates to faster matrix operations during training and inference workloads where the V100 processes larger effective batch sizes before memory limits appear. The Quadro RTX 5000 FP32 figure of 11.2 TFLOPS remains 1.4 times lower than the V100 FP32 figure of 15.7 TFLOPS confirming consistent scaling across precision levels. Memory bandwidth of 900 GB/s on the V100 doubles the 448 GB/s bandwidth on the Quadro RTX 5000 allowing the V100 to sustain higher data movement rates during large tensor computations. The 230W TDP on the Quadro RTX 5000 versus 300W TDP on the V100 indicates lower power draw per dense FP16 TFLOPS on the Quadro RTX 5000. INT8 dense throughput listed at 178.4 TOPS for the Quadro RTX 5000 provides a concrete metric for quantized inference paths unavailable on the V100.

When to Choose the Quadro RTX 5000

The Quadro RTX 5000 suits deployments that prioritize the 230W TDP rating and the 178.4 TOPS INT8 dense rating for inference pipelines. Its 16 GB GDDR6 configuration paired with PCIe form factor fits systems that require lower power envelopes without NVLink scaling. Workloads that benefit from the Turing architecture release in 2018 and the listed dense INT8 performance select the Quadro RTX 5000 when FP32 throughput of 11.2 TFLOPS meets application needs.

When to Choose the V100

The V100 suits workloads that require the 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and the 900 GB/s memory bandwidth for training and scientific tasks. Its 15.7 TFLOPS FP32 rating and support for SXM2 form factor enable higher throughput in bandwidth constrained environments. Users select the V100 when the 300W TDP rating is acceptable in exchange for the 1.4 times dense FP16 advantage over the Quadro RTX 5000.
