NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 vs NVIDIA H20 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 has one benchmark result in the database: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2893. The NVIDIA H20 has no benchmark entries at all, with an average benchmark score of zero. This means the head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and neither product registers a win in direct competition.

The RTX 4010 occupies the consumer GeForce 40-series segment, built for standard display outputs and PCIe 4.0 x8 connectivity. Its single benchmark places it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals in the database show how tightly grouped this performance tier is: the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB scores 2907 (0.5% higher), the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF scores 2910 (0.6% higher), the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB scores 2913 (0.7% higher), and the Quadro P600 scores 2923 (1.0% higher). The RTX 4010 trails each of these by less than one full percentage point, indicating it sits at the very edge of that performance cluster.

The H20, by contrast, is a server-class accelerator with no display outputs, no graphics API support (DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan are all listed as N/A), and no recorded benchmark scores. Its percentile ranking of 50 reflects a mid-database position, but this is based on no actual measurements. The H20 wins in the categories that matter for compute workloads: memory capacity, memory bandwidth, FP32 throughput, and FP16 throughput. The RTX 4010 wins in the categories that matter for desktop graphics: it has display outputs, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, and consumes 50 W against the H20's 500 W.

FAQ

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty. There are no direct comparison scores between the RTX 4010 and the H20. This is a critical data point: the two products were never tested against each other in the same workload. The only benchmark available is the RTX 4010's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 2893, which places it at the 18th percentile overall.

Without H20 benchmark data, the comparison must rely on specification-derived performance indicators. The H20's FP32 throughput is 39.54 TFLOPS, which is 14.6 times higher than the RTX 4010's 2.706 TFLOPS. The H20's texture rate is 617.8 GTexel/s against the RTX 4010's 42.29 GTexel/s, a 14.6-fold difference. The H20's pixel rate is 47.52 GPixel/s versus the RTX 4010's 28.19 GPixel/s, a 1.7-fold difference. The H20's FP16 throughput is 79.07 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) against the RTX 4010's 2.706 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), a 29.2-fold difference. Memory bandwidth shows the largest gap: 4.03 TB/s versus 96.00 GB/s, which is a 42-fold difference.

The RTX 4010's nearest rivals in the database, all scoring between 2907 and 2923, demonstrate that the 4010 is within 1% of a cluster of much larger GPUs. The 0.5% gap to the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB and the 0.7% gap to the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB are within typical run-to-run variance for 3DMark workloads. The Quadro P600, a much older professional card, still edges out the 4010 by 1.0%. These margins are narrow enough that the 4010 could trade places with any of these rivals depending on driver versions or system configuration, though the database records only the single score.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. Clock speeds: the RTX 4010 has a base clock of 1417 MHz and a boost clock of 1762 MHz. The H20 runs at 1830 MHz base and 1980 MHz boost. Memory: the RTX 4010 uses 4 GB GDDR6 at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective) on a 64-bit bus. The H20 uses 96 GB HBM3 at 1313 MHz (5.3 Gbps effective) on a 6144-bit bus. The bus width difference is 96 times, and the bandwidth difference is 42 times in favor of the H20.

Compute resources: the RTX 4010 has 768 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The H20 has 9984 shading units, 312 TMUs, and 24 ROPs. The RTX 4010 has 6 RT cores and 24 tensor cores. The H20 lists no RT cores but has 312 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 28.19 GPixel/s for the 4010 and 47.52 GPixel/s for the H20. Texture rate is 42.29 GTexel/s versus 617.8 GTexel/s.

Form factor and power: the RTX 4010 is a single-slot card measuring 163 mm (6.4 inches) in length and 69 mm (2.7 inches) in height, with no power connectors and a 250 W suggested PSU. The H20 is an SXM module with no listed dimensions, no power connector details, and a 900 W suggested PSU. The RTX 4010 has 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs; the H20 has no outputs. The RTX 4010 uses PCIe 4.0 x8; the H20 uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 4010 is built on the GA107 chip using the Ampere architecture, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The H20 uses the GH100 chip with the Hopper architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The transistor counts differ enormously: 8,700 million for the 4010 against 80,000 million for the H20, a 9.2-fold difference. Die size is 200 mm² for the 4010 and 814 mm² for the H20. Transistor density is 43.5M per mm² for the 4010 and 98.3M per mm² for the H20, reflecting the denser 5 nm process.

The RTX 4010 belongs to the GeForce 40 generation, with a predecessor in GeForce 30 and a successor in GeForce 50. The H20 belongs to the Server Hopper (Hxx) generation, with a predecessor in Server Ada and a successor in Server Blackwell. The RTX 4010 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The H20 has no API support listed for any of these graphics standards, consistent with its server accelerator role.

The FP16 ratio differs: the RTX 4010 runs FP16 at 2.706 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, while the H20 runs FP16 at 79.07 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. This means the H20's FP16 throughput is double its FP32 throughput, a design choice for deep learning workloads that rely heavily on reduced-precision arithmetic. The RTX 4010's 1:1 ratio indicates no such specialization. The RTX 4010's 6 RT cores support hardware ray tracing for graphics; the H20 lists no RT cores, as ray tracing is not relevant to its compute-oriented role.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear division of purpose. The RTX 4010 is a graphics card. It has display outputs, DirectX 12 Ultimate support, and a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2893 that places it within 1% of the RTX 4060 Ti family and the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF. Its 50 W TDP and lack of power connectors make it suitable for systems with modest power delivery. Users who need a working desktop GPU with modern API support and a benchmark result should look at the RTX 4010.

The H20 is not a graphics card in the conventional sense. It has no display outputs, no graphics API support, and no benchmark scores in the database. Its strengths are purely computational: 96 GB of HBM3 memory, 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth, 39.54 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, and 79.07 TFLOPS of FP16 throughput. The 312 tensor cores and 2:1 FP16 ratio indicate a design optimized for matrix operations common in AI training and inference. The 500 W TDP and 900 W suggested PSU confirm it is meant for server racks, not desktop towers.

The database shows zero head-to-head benchmark wins for either product because no direct comparisons were recorded. The RTX 4010's single benchmark places it at the 18th percentile of all GPUs, a modest position. The H20's 50th percentile ranking exists without any supporting benchmark data, so it should be interpreted as a placeholder rather than a measured result. The closest comparisons for the RTX 4010 are consumer and professional graphics cards, not server accelerators. The closest comparisons for the H20 would require server compute benchmarks, which are absent from this dataset.

For a buyer choosing between these two, the decision hinges entirely on workload. The RTX 4010 delivers a measurable graphics performance level with a specific score against named rivals. The H20 offers raw compute capacity at a scale the RTX 4010 cannot approach, but it cannot output video to a display. The RTX 4010 is the only one of the two that can function as a visible, interactive graphics device. The H20 is the only one of the two with the memory capacity and throughput for large-scale data processing. Neither product fills the other's role, and the database contains no evidence that either is a substitute for the other.
