Performance Analysis

The MI300X records 1307.4 TFLOPS dense FP16 against the RTX 4090 165.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 while both devices report FP32 figures of 163.4 TFLOPS and 82.6 TFLOPS respectively. This dense FP16 advantage allows the MI300X to process larger batches during training and inference workloads that fit within its 192 GB memory capacity. The 5300 GB/s bandwidth on the MI300X compared with 1008 GB/s on the RTX 4090 further supports sustained data movement for models that exceed the 24 GB limit of the RTX 4090. When sparsity is enabled the MI300X reaches 2614.9 TFLOPS with sparsity FP16 against the RTX 4090 330.4 TFLOPS with sparsity FP16.

When to Choose the MI300X

The MI300X suits deployments that require the full 192 GB HBM3 capacity and 5300 GB/s bandwidth for models that cannot fit on smaller memory configurations. Its 1307.4 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 2614.9 TFLOPS with sparsity FP16 also accelerate large batch training sessions that benefit from the 750W TDP envelope.

When to Choose the RTX 4090

The RTX 4090 fits environments constrained to 450W TDP and PCIe form factor cards where the 24 GB GDDR6X memory suffices for the target workload. Its 165.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 remains adequate for compact inference tasks that do not demand the higher memory bandwidth of 5300 GB/s.

Use Cases

LLM Training
MI300X

The MI300X supplies 192 GB memory and 1307.4 TFLOPS dense FP16 that accommodate larger models than the 24 GB and 165.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 of the RTX 4090.

LLM Inference
MI300X

The MI300X 5300 GB/s bandwidth and 2614.9 TFLOPS with sparsity FP16 sustain higher throughput for large context lengths compared with the RTX 4090 figures.

Fine-tuning
MI300X

The MI300X 192 GB capacity supports fine-tuning runs that exceed the 24 GB limit of the RTX 4090 while delivering 1307.4 TFLOPS dense FP16.

Stable Diffusion
RTX 4090

The RTX 4090 450W TDP and PCIe form factor align with consumer scale image generation workloads that fit within 24 GB memory.

Scientific Computing
MI300X

The MI300X 163.4 TFLOPS FP32 and 5300 GB/s bandwidth accelerate memory intensive scientific simulations beyond the RTX 4090 capabilities.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the MI300X and the RTX 4090. 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.
