Performance Analysis

The H100 delivers 989 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance while the RTX 5060 lists no FP16 figure. FP32 performance stands at 67 TFLOPS on the H100 versus 19.2 TFLOPS on the RTX 5060. This FP16 to FP32 ratio on the H100 supports larger batch sizes during training and inference compared with the RTX 5060. The H100 also lists 1979 TFLOPS FP8 dense performance against no FP8 figure on the RTX 5060. Memory bandwidth of 3350 GB/s on the H100 versus 448 GB/s on the RTX 5060 permits greater data movement per second and therefore larger effective batch sizes in memory bound operations. The RTX 5060 provides 614 TFLOPS FP4 with sparsity while the H100 lists no FP4 figure.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the H100 and the RTX 5060. 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.
