Performance Analysis

The H200 NVL dominates in raw compute with 1979 TFLOPS FP16 and 67 TFLOPS FP32, enabling rapid AI training where half-precision dominates. The RTX 4070 SUPER matches FP16 and FP32 at approximately 35 TFLOPS each, suiting graphics rendering or lighter compute tasks equally. This FP16/FP32 delta on the H200 NVL accelerates deep learning training by leveraging tensor cores optimized for low-precision, reducing time for models exceeding 12 GB VRAM. Memory bandwidth tells a stark story: 4800 GB/s on the H200 NVL supports enormous batch sizes in transformer training, minimizing data loading bottlenecks, whereas 504 GB/s on the RTX 4070 SUPER limits batches to smaller scales, risking out-of-memory errors for large LLMs. Power efficiency flips for edge cases: the RTX 4070 SUPER's 220W TDP yields viable performance per watt for inference on desktops.
