FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2022: the GeForce RTX 3050 on Ampere and the A10G on Ampere.

Dense throughput for the GeForce RTX 3050 against the A10G: FP32 9.1 vs 35 TFLOPS, FP16 18 vs 70 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 8 GB against 24 GB. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

Power budgets are 130 W for the GeForce RTX 3050 and 300 W for the A10G. At FP32 that works out to 0.07 against 0.12 TFLOPS per watt.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
