Are there any difference? Seems to support CUDA as well, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Also seems to be a lot cheaper than AWS counterpart.



It seems like a Quadro RTX 6000 is comparable performance-wise to a P100 (https://askgeek.io/en/gpus/vs/NVIDIA_Quadro-RTX-6000-vs-NVID...), although there are no tests for the ML angle.

A P100 on GCP is $1.46/hr alone, so maybe Linode is a good deal if the performance is indeed comparable.


RTX 6000 is significantly faster than a P100 outside of FP64, and is the fastest or 2nd fastest GPU outside of FP64 work [1] (the GV100 is sometimes faster, sometimes slower than the RTX 6000 but costs more). For FP64, GV100 based GPUS are quite a bit faster than P100s.

Also, you should really ignore pretty much all of the comparison sites that show up when you search for computer component comparisons as they're nearly all awful. The one you posted doesn't show a single benchmark comparison between them, and compares numbers like clock speed which isn't comparable between architectures, or memory clock speed instead of memory bandwidth leading to the laughable conclusion that the RTX 6000 has "9.9x more memory clock speed: 14000 MHz vs 1408 MHz" vs the P100 when the P100 uses HBM2 and has 732.2 GB/s vs 672.0 GB/s of actual memory bandwidth.

Has this section:

Theoretical Performance Pixel Rate 169.9 GPixel/s Texture Rate 509.8 GTexel/s FP16 (half) performance 32.62 TFLOPS (2:1) FP32 (float) performance 16.31 TFLOPS FP64 (double) performance 509.8 GFLOPS (1:32)

Perhaps for at least rough performance comparisons it is a good start.

My impression the current favorite card by DIY types is an RTX 2080 Ti.

However I think nvidia will take legal action against any service provider trying to use those in a cloud or server offering.
