First of all, why are you now using the new benchmarks? The legacy
benchmarks are not representative of what most users do in MD these days.
I cannot make a meaningful test on an RTX-2080Ti because the card I have
access to are not sufficiently powered to give the right numbers. I see
about a 20% degradation relative to what Ross was able to get. Ditto for
an RTX-6000, which is nearly as fast as a V100 despite having 20% too
little power feeding it.
