Performance Analysis

Dense FP16 performance reaches 121 TFLOPS on the L4 against 110 TFLOPS on the TITAN V. The same dense metric yields an FP16 to FP32 ratio of roughly four to one on the L4 and roughly seven to one on the TITAN V. Sparse FP16 performance on the L4 reaches 242 TFLOPS while the TITAN V lists no sparse figure. Memory capacity of 24 GB on the L4 versus 12 GB on the TITAN V allows larger batch sizes in memory bound tasks even though bandwidth favors the TITAN V at 653 GB/s. Lower TDP of 72W on the L4 versus 250W on the TITAN V reduces system power requirements without altering the dense FP16 comparison.

When to Choose the L4

The L4 suits deployments where power limits constrain total system draw because its TDP measures 72W. Its 24 GB memory capacity supports larger models than the 12 GB available on the TITAN V. PCIe 4.0 interconnect further aligns the L4 with modern server platforms.

When to Choose the TITAN V

Its 250W TDP accommodates systems already provisioned for higher power envelopes. FP32 performance of 14.9 TFLOPS remains adequate for certain legacy scientific codes.

Use Cases

LLM Training
L4

The L4 supplies 24 GB memory capacity and 121 TFLOPS dense FP16 compared with 12 GB and 110 TFLOPS on the TITAN V.

LLM Inference
L4

Dense FP16 at 121 TFLOPS and 72W TDP on the L4 enable efficient serving relative to the TITAN V 110 TFLOPS and 250W TDP.

Fine-tuning
L4

Double memory capacity of 24 GB on the L4 versus 12 GB on the TITAN V accommodates larger fine tuning batches at comparable dense FP16 rates.

Stable Diffusion
Either

Both cards deliver similar dense FP16 figures near 110 to 121 TFLOPS though the L4 halves power draw while the TITAN V doubles bandwidth.

Scientific Computing
TITAN V

The TITAN V provides 653 GB/s bandwidth that exceeds the L4 300 GB/s figure for bandwidth sensitive FP32 workloads at 14.9 TFLOPS.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the L4 and the TITAN V. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
  • Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
  • The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
