Performance Analysis

Dense FP16 performance reaches 18.7 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 and 29.9 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 so the latter delivers higher throughput for operations that use dense FP16 arithmetic. The FP32 figure of 9.3 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 exceeds the 7.5 TFLOPS figure on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 which favors the former when workloads rely on dense FP32 calculations. Memory bandwidth of 732 GB/s on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 compared with 448 GB/s on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 allows larger batch sizes before memory becomes the limiting factor during training or inference passes.

When to Choose the P100

The NVIDIA Tesla P100 suits workloads that require 16 GB memory capacity and 732 GB/s bandwidth together with 9.3 TFLOPS dense FP32 performance. Its support for NVLink interconnect further benefits multi GPU configurations that move data at rates beyond PCIe 3.0 limits. These attributes align with scientific computing tasks that process large tensors within the higher power envelope of 250W.

When to Choose the RTX 2070

Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory and PCIe form factor make it practical for single GPU inference where power efficiency matters more than peak bandwidth. The dense INT8 rating of 119.4 TOPS also supports quantized inference pipelines.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the P100 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.
