The cuda-mini-nbody test profile continues performing much better on the Turing cards than with Pascal.

Turing not only delivers significantly better performance for TensorFlow particularly at FP16 with the tensor cores, but

With the ResNet-50 model with FP32, the Turing benefits are much less but the RTX 2080 Ti still has a hefty lead compared to the GTX 1080 Ti. Unfortunately for the rest of these TensorFlow tests is where the RTX 2070 failed to run them even after repeated reboots but still would be producing NaN errors on training, while earlier driver releases had worked fine.
