Performance Analysis
The FP32 rating of 67 TFLOPS on the H100 exceeds the 6.5 TFLOPS rating on the RTX 2060 by a factor of ten and this gap determines feasible model sizes during both training and inference. Memory bandwidth of 3350 GB/s on the H100 supports substantially larger batch sizes than the 336 GB/s bandwidth on the RTX 2060 because data movement keeps pace with the higher arithmetic throughput. The H100 lists FP16 dense performance at 989 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 1979 TFLOPS while the RTX 2060 publishes no FP16 figure so only FP32 remains available for direct numeric comparison. The same pattern holds for FP8 dense at 1979 TFLOPS and FP8 with sparsity at 3958 TFLOPS on the H100 with no corresponding values published for the RTX 2060.

When to Choose the H100
The H100 suits workloads that require the 80 to 94 GB HBM3 capacity and 3350 GB/s bandwidth together with FP16 dense throughput of 989 TFLOPS. Large scale training or inference jobs that fit within the 700W TDP envelope benefit from the NVLink interconnect and the SXM5 form factor options.
When to Choose the RTX 2060
The RTX 2060 fits tasks constrained to the 160W TDP and the 6 to 12 GB GDDR6 memory when only FP32 performance of 6.5 TFLOPS is needed. Entry level graphics or lightweight compute jobs that operate over PCIe 3.0 interconnect remain practical within the PCIe form factor.
Use Cases
The H100 supplies 989 TFLOPS FP16 dense and 80 to 94 GB HBM3 that accommodate large model training runs.
FP16 dense performance of 989 TFLOPS combined with 3350 GB/s bandwidth supports high throughput inference on the H100.
The 1979 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity rating and 80 to 94 GB capacity on the H100 handle fine tuning workloads efficiently.
The RTX 2060 at 160W TDP and 6.5 TFLOPS FP32 meets basic image generation needs without excess power draw.
FP32 throughput of 67 TFLOPS and 3350 GB/s bandwidth on the H100 accelerate scientific simulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FP32 performance difference between the H100 and the RTX 2060?▾
The H100 delivers 67 TFLOPS FP32 while the RTX 2060 delivers 6.5 TFLOPS FP32. This tenfold difference affects the scale of floating point workloads each GPU can sustain.
How does memory bandwidth compare on the H100 versus the RTX 2060?▾
The H100 provides 3350 GB/s bandwidth and the RTX 2060 provides 336 GB/s bandwidth. The higher figure on the H100 permits larger data transfers per second during computation.
What TDP values are listed for each GPU?▾
The H100 carries a 700W TDP and the RTX 2060 carries a 160W TDP. System power budgets must accommodate these ratings when selecting between the two.
Which interconnects does the H100 support that the RTX 2060 does not?▾
The H100 supports NVLink and InfiniBand while the RTX 2060 supports only PCIe 3.0. Multi GPU scaling therefore differs between the platforms.
Does the H100 publish FP16 figures that the RTX 2060 lacks?▾
The H100 lists FP16 dense at 989 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 1979 TFLOPS. The RTX 2060 publishes no FP16 rating so only FP32 remains comparable.
Which is cheaper to rent, the H100 or the RTX 2060?▾
Cloud rental prices for both the H100 and RTX 2060 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 H100 have compared to the RTX 2060?▾
The H100 has 80 to 94 GB of HBM3 memory. The RTX 2060 has 6 to 12 GB of GDDR6 memory.
Can I find H100 and RTX 2060 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 H100 and the RTX 2060?▾
The H100 uses the Hopper architecture (2022) while the RTX 2060 uses Turing (2019). The H100 has 80-94 GB of HBM3 at 3,350 GB/s; the RTX 2060 has 6-12 GB of GDDR6 at 336 GB/s, so the H100 has 10.0x the memory bandwidth of the RTX 2060.
