Performance Analysis
The FP32 performance ratio shows the H200 at 67 TFLOPS exceeding the GTX 1080 at 8.9 TFLOPS by a factor of approximately 7.5. For FP16 the H200 offers 989 TFLOPS dense while the GTX 1080 has no published FP16 figure. This gap indicates that the H200 supports larger scale training and inference operations where dense FP16 computations are required. Memory bandwidth of 4800 GB/s on the H200 compared to 320 GB/s on the GTX 1080 allows for substantially larger batch sizes in memory bound workloads. The TDP of 700W on the H200 versus 180W on the GTX 1080 reflects the increased capacity for sustained high performance. Sparsity features on the H200 provide FP16 with sparsity at 1979 TFLOPS which further extends its applicability in optimized scenarios.
