Performance Analysis

The FP16 dense performance reaches 989 TFLOPS on the H200 compared to 40.6 TFLOPS on the RTX 3070. This delta means the H200 completes training iterations or inference passes at a higher rate for models that fit in memory. FP16 with sparsity on the H200 reaches 1979 TFLOPS against 81.3 TFLOPS with sparsity on the RTX 3070. Memory bandwidth of 4800 GB/s on the H200 versus 448 GB/s on the RTX 3070 permits larger batch sizes during both training and inference without swapping data to host memory. FP32 figures of 67 TFLOPS and 20.3 TFLOPS further separate the GPUs for precision sensitive scientific workloads.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the H200 and the RTX 3070. 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.
