Hi,

I converted a TensorFlow implementation of DCGAN to PyTorch and observe it is ~4x slower. Couple of comments:

1. What is the performance expectation of PyTorch vs TensorFlow for GANs in general?
2. Do we have any benchmarks?

Thanks,  
Rohith

Please refer to the official [dcgan](https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/dcgan) example of PyTorch.
