RTX 3090 vs Tesla V100 32GB

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

AmperevsVoltaUpdated 33 days ago

This variant comparison is part of the RTX 3090 vs V100 family comparison.

The V100 32GB variant wins for the most common tensor heavy training use case because its 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and 32 GB capacity deliver higher throughput on dense low precision workloads than the RTX 3090 variant achieves with 35.6 TFLOPS FP16.

Performance Analysis

The FP16 figure of 125 TFLOPS dense on the V100 variant exceeds the 35.6 TFLOPS figure on the RTX 3090 variant by a wide margin and this gap favors tensor core workloads that rely on dense FP16 arithmetic. The FP32 figure of 35.6 TFLOPS on the RTX 3090 variant exceeds the 15.7 TFLOPS figure on the V100 variant and this advantage appears in workloads that stay within single precision floating point. Both variants share memory bandwidth values near 900 GB/s so batch size scaling remains comparable when memory capacity limits are not reached. The 32 GB capacity on the V100 variant allows larger batches than the 24 GB capacity on the RTX 3090 variant in memory intensive training runs. The 350W TDP on the RTX 3090 variant exceeds the 300W TDP on the V100 variant and this difference affects power limited deployments. Direct comparison of dense FP16 figures shows the V100 variant ahead while FP32 figures show the RTX 3090 variant ahead.
