MI250X vs RTX 2070

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

CDNA 2vsTuringUpdated 33 days ago

The MI250X wins for the most common large model training use case because its 128 GB VRAM, 3277 GB/s bandwidth and 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating exceed the corresponding 8 GB, 448 GB/s and 29.9 TFLOPS dense FP16 figures on the RTX 2070.

Performance Analysis

The MI250X dense FP16 rating of 383 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 2070 dense FP16 rating of 29.9 TFLOPS by a factor derived directly from those two numbers and supports larger batch sizes through the 3277 GB/s bandwidth compared with 448 GB/s. In training scenarios the MI250X FP32 rating of 47.9 TFLOPS allows higher precision steps than the RTX 2070 FP32 rating of 7.5 TFLOPS while the dense FP16 figures remain the only valid comparison point. Inference tasks similarly benefit from the MI250X 128 GB capacity that accommodates models exceeding the 8 GB limit of the RTX 2070 and from the 383 TOPS dense INT8 rating that exceeds the 119.4 TOPS dense INT8 rating on the RTX 2070.

When to Choose the MI250X

The MI250X suits workloads that require the full 128 GB HBM2e capacity and the 3277 GB/s bandwidth for large scale training or inference. Its 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and Infinity Fabric interconnect further support distributed scientific computing jobs that exceed the 8 GB and 448 GB/s limits of the RTX 2070.

When to Choose the RTX 2070

The RTX 2070 fits scenarios where the 175W TDP and PCIe form factor align with existing consumer systems that cannot accommodate the 560W TDP or OAM form factor of the MI250X. Its 8 GB GDDR6 capacity remains adequate for smaller inference tasks that stay within that memory size.

Use Cases

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the MI250X and the RTX 2070. 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.
