Performance Analysis

Compute performance defines the core disparity: the H100 SXM5 achieves 1979 TFLOPS in FP16 versus 7.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 2070 SUPER, yielding over 260 times faster half-precision operations central to AI training and inference. FP32 throughput of 67 TFLOPS compared to 7.5 TFLOPS accelerates simulations and graphics rendering by nearly 9 times. FP8 capability at 3958 TFLOPS on the H100 SXM5 optimizes quantized inference for large language models. Memory bandwidth stands out as critical: 3350 GB/s on the H100 SXM5 supports massive batch sizes and high-resolution data processing, while 448 GB/s on the RTX 2070 SUPER bottlenecks large datasets. In practice, this allows the H100 SXM5 to train models with billions of parameters efficiently, whereas the RTX 2070 SUPER suits only small-scale prototypes limited by 8 GB VRAM.
