Nvidia Unveils GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs

The difference is the Quadro RTX 8000 is $5500 (vs the 3090’s $1500 price), and the Quadro has less than half of the CUDA cores that the 3090 does.

You can buy two of the 3090’s for almost half the price of the Quadro and have 4x the processing power.

EDIT: looks like I'm not fully correct here - nvidia changed how they measure cores: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/ikok1b/explaining...

Still great for the price, but not double the power necessarily.

I thought quadro sacrifices speed to get accuracy, which matters for modelling/rendering but not ML (and games)

Isn’t this just Single vs. Double vs. Quad-precision in IEEE-754 numbers - or is it something else?

Do they round-off 32-bit floats at 24-bits or something?

Matters for CAD but rendering these days most are just piling machines full of gaming GPUs and rendering on CUDA.

my reading of the article was that this model is memory bound, not compute bound
