NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs NVIDIA H20 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents a fundamentally asymmetric comparison. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has ten benchmark entries across DirectX, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads, while the NVIDIA H20 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Consequently, the RTX 4070 SUPER holds every measured win in the dataset. Its average benchmark score stands at 43,223, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The H20, by contrast, has an average score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, a position that reflects its absence of measurement data rather than a performance verdict.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's benchmark profile shows particular strength in synthetic graphics tests. Its highest single score is 205,624 in Geekbench Vulkan, followed by 172,795 in Geekbench OpenCL. The Passmark G3D suite returns 29,995, while the GPU compute test yields 17,108. DirectX-specific results are lower in absolute terms: Passmark DirectX 9 scores 344, DirectX 11 scores 273, DirectX 10 scores 167, and DirectX 12 scores 110. The 2D graphics score is 1,184. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test produces 4,627 points.

For the H20, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot assign a single performance win. Its 50th percentile ranking alongside a zero average score indicates that no workload measurements have been recorded. The use-case split therefore defaults entirely to the RTX 4070 SUPER for all measurable graphics and compute tasks. The H20's role in the comparison must be assessed through its architecture and memory subsystem rather than through direct performance numbers.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from distinct architectural lineages. The RTX 4070 SUPER uses the AD104 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC. The H20 uses the GH100 chip built on Hopper architecture, also on a 5 nm TSMC process. Both share the same process node, but their transistor counts diverge sharply. The AD104 packs 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, yielding a density of 121.8 million transistors per square millimeter. The GH100 houses 80,000 million transistors on an 814 mm² die, with a density of 98.3 million per square millimeter.

The H20's die is more than twice the physical size of the RTX 4070 SUPER's, and it carries over twice the transistor count. The transistor density is lower on the H20, indicating a less compact layout despite the larger scale. The RTX 4070 SUPER belongs to the GeForce 40-series with a release date of January 2024, while the H20 belongs to the Server Hopper generation with a release date later that same month. The H20 lists its predecessor as Server Ada and successor as Server Blackwell; the RTX 4070 SUPER lists GeForce 30 as predecessor and GeForce 50 as successor.

Clock behavior differs substantially. The RTX 4070 SUPER runs at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz. The H20 runs at a lower base clock of 1830 MHz and a lower boost clock of 1980 MHz. Memory clocks show a different pattern: both list a memory clock of 1313 MHz, but the effective data rate differs. The RTX 4070 SUPER operates at 21 Gbps effective, while the H20 operates at 5.3 Gbps effective. The H20 compensates with a dramatically wider memory bus and a different memory type.

The H20 uses 96 GB of HBM3 memory on a 6144-bit bus, producing 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 4070 SUPER uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, producing 504.2 GB/s. The H20's bandwidth advantage is roughly eightfold in raw throughput. The H20's memory size is eight times larger as well.

The RTX 4070 SUPER has 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. The H20 has 9984 shading units, 312 TMUs, and only 24 ROPs. The H20's ROP count is a fraction of the RTX 4070 SUPER's, which limits its pixel throughput: 47.52 GPixel/s versus 198.0 GPixel/s. Texture rate favors the H20 at 617.8 GTexel/s versus 554.4 GTexel/s. The H20 has 312 tensor cores and no listed ray tracing cores; the RTX 4070 SUPER has 224 tensor cores and 56 ray tracing cores.

Floating-point performance splits by precision. In FP32, the H20 leads with 39.54 TFLOPS versus 35.48 TFLOPS on the RTX 4070 SUPER. In FP16, the H20 reaches 79.07 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers 35.48 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The H20's FP16 output is more than double that of the RTX 4070 SUPER.

Power and interface requirements diverge as well. The RTX 4070 SUPER has a TDP of 220 W, uses a single 16-pin connector, and suggests a 550 W power supply. The H20 has a TDP of 500 W, lists no power connectors, and suggests a 900 W power supply. The RTX 4070 SUPER is a dual-slot card with a 267 mm length, 112 mm height, and 42 mm width. The H20 is an SXM module with no recorded physical dimensions.

The Verdict

Based strictly on recorded data, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the only GPU in this comparison with measurable performance. It delivers a full suite of benchmark scores across multiple APIs, ranking in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at a 0.1% lower average score, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 0.1% lower, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 0.2% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 1% lower. The RTX 4070 SUPER's average score of 43,223 sits slightly above each of these.

The H20 has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile ranking of 50th is the default position for an unmeasured GPU. The H20's architecture provides different capabilities: a much larger memory pool, higher bandwidth, more tensor cores, and higher FP16 throughput. But the database contains no test results to confirm how those capabilities translate into workload performance.

The RTX 4070 SUPER is marked end-of-life with a launch MSRP of 599 USD. The H20 is marked active with no launch MSRP. The RTX 4070 SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and has display outputs including HDMI and DisplayPort. The H20 lists no API support and no display outputs, reflecting its server-oriented design.

For any workload covered by the recorded benchmarks, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the only option with data. For workloads that rely on massive memory capacity, high bandwidth, or dense FP16 compute, the H20's specifications suggest capability, but no measurement exists to quantify it.
