How to Read These Results

A LynxBenchAI score is sustained throughput on a fixed catalogue of PyTorch models, measured after a warm-up at a batch size raised until throughput stops improving, so it is what the machine holds under load, not its best instant. Training, Inference and Compute are three separate scores; GT combines them (Training and Inference weigh 0.4 each, Compute 0.2).

Every run uses the stock, publicly released PyTorch stack, so a result is broadly indicative of the out-of-the-box PyTorch experience on that hardware, and so of custom PyTorch models too. It does not run your own model, and it is not a vendor-tuned peak like an MLPerf submission.

Scores compare only within one Index: the 26Q3 Index fixes the models, precisions, correctness thresholds and scoring, and a later Index may change them. Each test is one timed window, the scores have no 0-100 scale, and a precision a device cannot run scores zero rather than being skipped.

LynxBenchAI is built by TechnoLynx, which the European Commission engaged as an independent expert advisor on AI performance and benchmarking for AI Gigafactories under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (case study).

Questions

Is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti for AI?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 1.19x the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti overall (Training 1.04x, Inference 1.32x, Compute 1.23x).
Where is the difference between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti largest?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the ratio is highest on Dense MatMul at FP32 (Compute), where the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 1.48x the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, and lowest on DistilBERT at INT8 (Inference), at 0.65x.
Which precisions run on only one of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, only the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti runs FP8 inference; a precision a device cannot execute scores zero.
What does this result tell me about my own PyTorch model?
Every run uses the stock, publicly released PyTorch stack, so a result is broadly indicative of the out-of-the-box PyTorch experience on that hardware, and so of custom PyTorch models too. It does not run your own model, and it is not a vendor-tuned peak like an MLPerf submission.
