What actually differs
Both GPUs launched in 2023: the RTX 4000 Ada on Ada Lovelace and the RTX 6000 Ada on Ada Lovelace.
Dense throughput for the RTX 4000 Ada against the RTX 6000 Ada: FP32 27 vs 91 TFLOPS, FP8 214 vs 729 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 20 GB against 48 GB, fed at 360 GB/s versus 960 GB/s. 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 RTX 4000 Ada and 300 W for the RTX 6000 Ada. At FP32 that works out to 0.21 against 0.30 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.
