When to Choose the RTX 3070
The RTX 3070 suits scenarios with power constraints at 220W TDP and workloads that fit within 8 GB GDDR6. Inference tasks on smaller models benefit from its FP16 dense rating of 40.6 TFLOPS when memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s proves adequate.
When to Choose the RTX 6000 Ada
The RTX 6000 Ada fits large scale training and inference that require 48 GB GDDR6 along with FP16 dense performance of 364 TFLOPS. Scientific computing jobs gain from its 960 GB/s memory bandwidth and 91.1 TFLOPS FP32 rating.
Use Cases
The RTX 6000 Ada supports larger batch sizes with 960 GB/s memory bandwidth and 728.5 TOPS INT8 dense compared to the RTX 3070 values of 448 GB/s and 162.6 TOPS.
The RTX 6000 Ada handles fine-tuning with 48 GB GDDR6 and FP32 performance of 91.1 TFLOPS whereas the RTX 3070 limits capacity to 8 GB GDDR6 and 20.3 TFLOPS FP32.
The RTX 3070 meets Stable Diffusion needs at 220W TDP with 8 GB GDDR6 when the workload does not require the higher 300W TDP or 48 GB of the RTX 6000 Ada.
The RTX 6000 Ada delivers 91.1 TFLOPS FP32 and 960 GB/s bandwidth for scientific computing while the RTX 3070 provides 20.3 TFLOPS FP32 and 448 GB/s bandwidth.
