Performance Analysis
The RTX 3070 dense FP16 figure of 40.6 TFLOPS exceeds the P100 dense FP16 figure of 18.7 TFLOPS and therefore supports faster training iterations when model size fits in 8 GB. The P100 bandwidth of 732 GB/s surpasses the RTX 3070 bandwidth of 448 GB/s and permits larger batch sizes during memory intensive operations even though FP32 performance remains lower at 9.3 TFLOPS versus 20.3 TFLOPS. The RTX 3070 also lists 81.3 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity which has no direct counterpart on the P100 and therefore offers an additional path for accelerated inference when sparsity can be applied.

When to Choose the P100
The P100 becomes the better choice for scientific computing tasks that require the full 16 GB HBM2 capacity and 732 GB/s bandwidth to handle large datasets. Its NVLink interconnect further supports scaling across multiple cards in environments where PCIe 3.0 limits would constrain the RTX 3070.
When to Choose the RTX 3070
The RTX 3070 becomes the better choice for fine tuning workloads that exploit 40.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 together with 220W TDP and PCIe 4.0 connectivity on contemporary host platforms.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the P100 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.
