Performance Analysis

Compute performance separates the H100 SXM5 from the RTX 2060 SUPER dramatically. The H100 SXM5 delivers 1979 TFLOPS FP16 for accelerated tensor operations in AI training, where matrix multiplications dominate, against the RTX 2060 SUPER's 6.5 TFLOPS. Its 67 TFLOPS FP32 supports precise simulations, exceeding the RTX 2060 SUPER's matching 6.5 TFLOPS.

Memory bandwidth dictates real-world throughput: 3350 GB/s on H100 SXM5 sustains large batch sizes in training without stalling, enabling models with billions of parameters, while 336 GB/s on RTX 2060 SUPER constrains it to modest datasets. For inference, H100 SXM5's 3958 TFLOPS FP8 optimizes low-precision serving at scale. Training epochs complete orders of magnitude faster on H100 SXM5 due to FP16 superiority; inference latency drops with vast VRAM accommodating full model loading.
