Performance Analysis
The A30 delivers 165 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance against 58.3 TFLOPS on the RTX 4070. In contrast the RTX 4070 achieves 29.1 TFLOPS FP32 compared to 10.3 TFLOPS on the A30. These differences influence choices between data center oriented cards and consumer oriented cards. The A30 supplies 330 TOPS INT8 dense performance while the RTX 4070 supplies 233.2 TOPS INT8 dense performance. Memory bandwidth of 933 GB/s on the A30 versus 504 GB/s on the RTX 4070 affects batch sizes during operations that move large tensors. The FP16 dense to FP32 ratio reaches 16.0 on the A30 and 2.0 on the RTX 4070.

When to Choose the A30
The A30 suits workloads that require 24 GB VRAM and 933 GB/s bandwidth. Its 165 TFLOPS FP16 dense rating exceeds the RTX 4070 by a factor of 2.8 while its 165 W TDP stays below the 200 W TDP of the RTX 4070. Data center deployments that need NVLink interconnect therefore favor the A30 over the RTX 4070.
When to Choose the RTX 4070
The RTX 4070 suits workloads that require 29.1 TFLOPS FP32 performance. Its 58.3 TFLOPS FP16 dense rating combined with 200 W TDP fits consumer PCIe systems without NVLink.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the A30 and the RTX 4070. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
