Here's the results for my devices. Not sure how to get a "cuda info string" though. CUDA Scoreboard for Llama 2 7B, Q4_0 (no FA)

While technically not directly related, there may also be value in comparing AMD ROCM build here too, as ROCM acts a replacement (sometimes a directly compatible layer) for most CUDA calls. I admit risk of confusion for Nvidia users in the thread if this path is taken. |

As I know you cannot run ROCm on Nvidia GPU. If you would like to see compared results check Vulkan thread. You can find there results for Vulkan/CUDA and Vulkan/ROCm. UPD: Created ROCm discussion. |

@Ristovski why so slow? Have you undervolted it? It pretty as RTX 3080, I expected somewhere between RTX 3090 and 3080 Ti =( |

Hmm indeed, I didn't give much thought to the score at first. It should be stock but not completely sure as that is one of our work machines. I didn't have much time to investigate today, will check again tomorrow! |

@olegshulyakov To help users quickly understand the approximate largest models that can run on each GPU, I suggest adding a VRAM column next to the GPU name on the main scoreboard. Example:

@olegshulyakov I see you grabbed some of my numbers from the Vulkan thread. However, I flooded that post with a bunch of data that probably came across as noise. While you quoted my correct numbers for Non-FA, the FA results you grabbed were actually when run on two GPUs instead of one. To make things easier, here are the numbers from a single card: RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB
And here's another GPU for the collection: RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB

Thanks. It isn't the fastest setup around, especially when working with 70B+ models, but it is completely usable for inference. There are also some benefits I like about these particular cards (Gigabyte Windforce):

Any chance that's with overclocking? I don't observe this 15% perf difference on my RTX 6000 Blackwell which should be the same chip as the 5090, just with more cores active -- can't even match your numbers. |

I've got the same max clocks as you, but those aren't reached in practice. Maximum boost is 2820 MHz. Even if I try to pin the clocks using That said, what I read on the internet about the RTX 5090 is that it has similar restrictions and that it's supposedly only possible to reach as high as 3000 MHz by overclocking. But maybe that's only true for some models and you've got one that has more headroom. |

Yes, I also get the maximum boost of 2820 MHz. And the memory clocks of 13801 MHz. According to |

Something is wrong with performance scaling when we consider rtx 5090 and b200. The latter has 2 processors, 16k cores each, plus 4 TB memory speed. The former has "only" 20k cores and 1.7TB memory speed. But the former is faster almost one and half times when processing prompt, and gets almost the same speed when generates tokens. Is it about missing support for new NVIDIA architecture? Or is it llama.cpp architectural issue? Here are the numbers: Zotac RTX 5090 Arctic Storm (450w) |

Yes it does seem as if only one core is utilized. The performance is consistent with what you'd expect from an H200 with slightly faster memory. |

This is similar to the Performance of llama.cpp on Apple Silicon M-series, Performance of llama.cpp on AMD ROCm(HIP) and Performance of llama.cpp with Vulkan, but for CUDA! I think it's good to consolidate and discuss our results here.
We'll be testing the Llama 2 7B model like the other thread to keep things consistent, and use Q4_0 as it's simple to compute and small enough to fit on a 4GB GPU. You can download it here.
Instructions
Either run the commands below or download one of our CUDA releases. If you have multiple GPUs please run the test on a single GPU using
-sm none -mg YOUR_GPU_NUMBERunless the model is too big to fit in VRAM.Share your llama-bench results along with the git hash and CUDA info string in the comments. Feel free to try other models and compare backends, but only valid runs will be placed on the scoreboard.
If multiple entries are posted for the same device I'll prioritize newer commits with substantial CUDA updates, otherwise I'll pick the one with the highest overall score at my discretion. Performance may vary depending on driver, operating system, board manufacturer, etc. even if the chip is the same. For integrated graphics note that your memory speed and number of channels will greatly affect your inference speed!
CUDA Scoreboard for Llama 2 7B, Q4_0 (no FA)
CUDA Scoreboard for Llama 2 7B, Q4_0 (with FA)
More detailed test
The main idea of this test is to show a decrease in performance with increasing size.
