In-Depth Comparison of NVIDIA Quadro “Turing” GPU Accelerators

This article provides in-depth details of the NVIDIA Quadro RTX “Turing” GPUs. NVIDIA “Turing” GPUs bring an evolved core architecture and add dedicated ray tracing units to the previous-generation “Volta” architecture. Turing GPUs began shipping in late 2018.

Important features available in the “Turing” GPU architecture include:

  • New RT Ray Tracing Cores for the first realtime ray-tracing performance
  • Evolved Deep Learning performance with over 130 Tensor TFLOPS (training) and and 500 TOPS Int4 (inference) throughput
  • NVLink 2.0 between GPUs—when optional NVLink bridges are added—supporting up to 2 bricks and up to 100GB/sec bidirectional bandwidth
  • New GDDR6 Memory with a substantial improvement in memory performance compared to previous-generation GPUs.

Quadro “Turing” GPU Specifications

The table below summarizes the features of the available Quadro Turing GPU Accelerators. To learn more about these products, or to find out how best to leverage their capabilities, please speak with an HPC expert.

* FLOPS and TOPS calculations are presented at Max Boost
† Passively-cooled models are available with slightly reduced clock speeds
