Performance Analysis

FP16 dense performance of 2250 TFLOPS on the B300 exceeds the FP16 figure with sparsity of 153.4 TFLOPS on the RTX A4000 by a wide margin. The same pattern appears in FP32 where the B300 reaches 75 TFLOPS against 19.2 TFLOPS on the RTX A4000. Memory bandwidth of 8000 GB/s on the B300 supports larger batch sizes than the 448 GB/s available on the RTX A4000. FP16 dense throughput on the B300 enables faster training iterations than FP16 with sparsity on the RTX A4000. FP32 dense execution on the B300 likewise accelerates scientific workloads relative to the RTX A4000.

When to Choose the B300

The B300 suits LLM training that requires 2250 TFLOPS FP16 dense and 262-288 GB VRAM. Workloads needing 8000 GB/s bandwidth and 75 TFLOPS FP32 also favor the B300 over alternatives with lower specifications.

When to Choose the RTX A4000

The RTX A4000 fits inference tasks that operate within 16-20 GB VRAM and 140W TDP. PCIe form factor deployments benefit from the 19.2 TFLOPS FP32 and 448 GB/s bandwidth of the RTX A4000.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the B300 and the RTX A4000. 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.
