Performance Analysis
The GH200 records 989 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance and 67 TFLOPS FP32 performance. These figures exceed the GTX 1080 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 performance by a wide margin and enable substantially larger batch sizes during training or inference workloads. Memory bandwidth of 4000 GB/s on the GH200 further supports bigger batches than the 320 GB/s available on the GTX 1080. When sparsity is applied the GH200 reaches 1979 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity which remains unavailable for the GTX 1080 since no FP16 value is published by the vendor. The 900 W TDP of the GH200 versus the 180 W TDP of the GTX 1080 reflects the scale of these throughput differences in sustained operation.

When to Choose the GH200
The GH200 suits LLM training and inference tasks that require 96 GB HBM3 memory and 989 TFLOPS FP16 dense throughput. Its 4000 GB/s bandwidth and NVLink C2C interconnect also fit scientific computing workloads that scale across multiple GPUs in SXM form factor.
When to Choose the GTX 1080
The GTX 1080 fits entry level inference or fine tuning experiments limited to 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 and 8 to 11 GB GDDR5X memory. Its 180 W TDP and PCIe form factor suit power constrained or legacy systems where Hopper scale remains unnecessary.
Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions
How does FP32 performance compare on these GPUs?▾
The GH200 achieves 67 TFLOPS FP32 whereas the GTX 1080 reaches 8.9 TFLOPS FP32. The gap affects precision sensitive scientific workloads.
What power draw separates the two cards?▾
The GH200 lists a 900 W TDP and the GTX 1080 lists a 180 W TDP. System design must account for this ninefold increase on the GH200.
Which interconnect does each GPU use?▾
The GH200 supports NVLink C2C and PCIe 5.0 while the GTX 1080 uses PCIe 3.0. Multi GPU scaling therefore favors the GH200.
Can the GTX 1080 run FP16 workloads like the GH200?▾
No FP16 figure is published for the GTX 1080. The GH200 supplies both 989 TFLOPS FP16 dense and 1979 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity.
Which is cheaper to rent, the GH200 or the GTX 1080?▾
Cloud rental prices for both the GH200 and GTX 1080 vary by provider, configuration, and availability. This page shows live pricing from 25+ providers updated every 60 seconds. Scroll to the Live Cloud Pricing section to compare current rates.
How much VRAM does the GH200 have compared to the GTX 1080?▾
The GH200 has 96 GB of HBM3 memory. The GTX 1080 has 8 to 11 GB of GDDR5X memory.
Can I find GH200 and GTX 1080 GPUs available to rent right now?▾
Yes. This page shows real-time availability across 25+ cloud GPU providers. The Live Cloud Pricing section displays only in-stock offers with current pricing.
What is the main difference between the GH200 and the GTX 1080?▾
The GH200 uses the Hopper architecture (2023) while the GTX 1080 uses Pascal (2016). The GH200 has 96 GB of HBM3 at 4,000 GB/s; the GTX 1080 has 8-11 GB of GDDR5X at 320 GB/s, so the GH200 has 12.5x the memory bandwidth of the GTX 1080.
