NVIDIA RTX A4000, A5000 and A6000 Comparison: Deep Learning Benchmarks for TensorFlow

Deep Learning Benchmarks for TensorFlow

For this blog article, we conducted deep learning performance benchmarks for TensorFlow comparing the NVIDIA RTX A4000 to NVIDIA RTX A5000 and A6000 GPUs.

Our Deep Learning Server was fitted with four RTX A4000 GPUs and we ran the standard “tf_cnn_benchmarks.py” benchmark script found in the official TensorFlow GitHub. We tested on the following networks: ResNet50, ResNet152, Inception v3, and Inception v4. Furthermore, we ran the same tests using 1, 2, and 4 GPU configurations with largest batch size for FP16.

Key Points and Observations

• In our benchmarks the NVIDIA RTX A4000 exhibits near linear scaling up to 4 GPUs.
• The RTX A4000 GPU memory foot print of 16GB limited our batch size to 256 against much larger datasets.
• Powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the RTX A4000 features 3rd gen Tensor Core, 2nd gen RT Cores. Plus 16GB of superfast GDDR6X memory, as well as Single Slot form factor and PCI Express Gen 4.
• The A4000 offers full support for all our latest and greatest technologies.
