Performance Analysis
The FP32 rating of 12 TFLOPS on the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU versus 35.6 TFLOPS on the RTX 3090 indicates lower throughput for general compute tasks on the former. Memory bandwidth of 224 GB/s on the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU versus 936 GB/s on the RTX 3090 limits maximum batch sizes in memory intensive operations. The RTX 3090 FP16 dense figure of 71 TFLOPS exceeds any comparable rating available for the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU. Sparsity labeled figures allow like for like assessment where published. The RTX 3090 FP16 performance with sparsity reaches 142 TFLOPS while the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU provides FP8 performance with sparsity at 191.9 TFLOPS. The TDP difference of 70W versus 350W further separates sustained operation envelopes between the two GPUs.
