Performance Analysis
FP16 dense performance reaches 61.7 TFLOPS on the RTX 5070 and 154.8 TFLOPS on the RTX A6000. This difference indicates the RTX A6000 supports larger batch processing during training and inference steps that rely on dense FP16 operations. FP16 with sparsity measures 123.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 5070 against 309.6 TFLOPS on the RTX A6000 so sparsity benefits scale proportionally higher on the RTX A6000. Memory bandwidth of 672 GB/s on the RTX 5070 versus 768 GB/s on the RTX A6000 limits maximum batch sizes more on the RTX 5070 for memory intensive operations. FP32 figures of 30.9 TFLOPS and 38.7 TFLOPS further show the RTX A6000 maintains an edge in single precision tasks.
