How to do a GPU benchmark test
Estimated time to read: 1 minute
We will explain how you can test and compare the performance of our instance flavors. We will use an Ubuntu VM and test the GPU. You can repeat these tests on any similar platform and compare the results.
GPU
We have a special flavor tier that offers GPU support using Nvidia GPU's
Geekbench 5 CUDA
Geekbench is also able to perform a CUDA benchmark. CUDA is a proprietary Nvidia product and generally has better performance.
