NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs NVIDIA H20 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and the NVIDIA H20 shows two fundamentally different accelerators with almost no overlap in their intended workloads. The RTX 4070 Ti, a GeForce 40-series part based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, has a complete set of benchmark results across ten tests. The H20, a Server Hopper generation part, has no benchmark entries in the database, no wins, and an average benchmark score of zero. The RTX 4070 Ti takes every recorded win by default, but that does not mean it is the faster card in all scenarios. The H20 simply has no measured performance data to compare.

The RTX 4070 Ti posts an average benchmark score of 44,795 and a percentile ranking of 84, meaning it sits above the vast majority of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile with an average score of 45,152 (0.8% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45,384 (1.3% higher), the NVIDIA RTX A6000 at 44,075 (1.6% lower), and the Intel Arc A730M at 45,592 (1.7% higher). The H20, by contrast, has an average score of zero and a percentile ranking of 50, which places it at the median of the database purely as a positional artifact, not from any measured performance.

The use-case split is therefore stark. The RTX 4070 Ti is a client graphics card with display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a), a dual-slot form factor, and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. It is designed for rendering, gaming, and general compute on a desktop. The H20 has no display outputs, no graphics API support (DirectX N/A, OpenGL N/A, Vulkan N/A), and comes as an SXM module with a 500 W TDP. It is a server accelerator aimed at data center workloads, presumably large-scale AI and HPC, though the database does not include any benchmark scores to quantify that capability.

For users who need rasterization, ray tracing, or any graphics API, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only option with measurable results. For users who need massive memory capacity or extreme memory bandwidth in a server context, the H20 has the hardware specifications on paper, but no recorded benchmark wins to validate its performance. The data cannot declare the H20 a winner in any test because no tests were run or recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different NVIDIA architectures and different product lines. The RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. It integrates 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.8 million per mm². The H20 uses the GH100 chip built on the Hopper architecture, also TSMC 5 nm, but with 80,000 million transistors on an 814 mm² die, resulting in a lower density of 98.3 million per mm². The H20 has more than double the transistor count and nearly three times the die area.

The memory subsystems diverge sharply. The RTX 4070 Ti carries 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth with a memory clock of 1313 MHz and 21 Gbps effective. The H20 carries 96 GB of HBM3 on a 6144-bit bus, delivering 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth, also at a 1313 MHz memory clock but with 5.3 Gbps effective. The H20 has eight times the memory capacity and exactly eight times the bus width, with bandwidth roughly eight times higher.

Compute resources also differ. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7,680 shading units, 240 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 60 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. The H20 has 9,984 shading units, 312 TMUs, 24 ROPs, no RT cores listed, and 312 tensor cores. The H20 has 30% more shading units and 30% more tensor cores, but only one-third the ROP count. The RTX 4070 Ti has a pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s versus 47.52 GPixel/s for the H20, a 4.4x advantage. Texture rates are closer: 626.4 GTexel/s for the RTX 4070 Ti versus 617.8 GTexel/s for the H20, a negligible difference. FP32 throughput is nearly identical, with 40.09 TFLOPS for the RTX 4070 Ti and 39.54 TFLOPS for the H20. The key divergence is FP16: the RTX 4070 Ti delivers 40.09 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, while the H20 delivers 79.07 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, so the H20 nearly doubles FP16 throughput.

Clock speeds follow their respective roles. The RTX 4070 Ti runs at a 2310 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost. The H20 runs at 1830 MHz base and 1980 MHz boost, roughly 24% lower. Power consumption scales accordingly: the RTX 4070 Ti has a 285 W TDP with a suggested 600 W PSU, while the H20 has a 500 W TDP with a suggested 900 W PSU. The bus interface differs as well: PCIe 4.0 x16 for the RTX 4070 Ti, PCIe 5.0 x16 for the H20.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark entries exist in the database for these two products. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, winsA is zero, winsB is zero. Consequently, there are no exact numbers to walk through for direct comparisons. The RTX 4070 Ti has ten individual benchmark scores: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 5,024, Geekbench OpenCL at 176,953, Geekbench Vulkan at 213,808, Passmark DirectX 10 at 187, Passmark DirectX 11 at 288, Passmark DirectX 12 at 116, Passmark DirectX 9 at 352, Passmark G2D at 1,200, Passmark G3D at 31,624, and Passmark GPU Compute at 18,396. The H20 has none of these results.

The absence of data is itself informative. The H20 cannot run graphics API benchmarks because it has no graphics API support, no display outputs, and no RT cores. Its architecture is optimized for server compute, particularly FP16 tensor operations, which the specification sheet indicates but no benchmark confirms. The RTX 4070 Ti, by contrast, has a full suite of results spanning DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and general compute. Its Passmark G3D score of 31,624 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 213,808 indicate strong client-side graphics performance.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the RTX 4070 Ti is competitive. It trails the RTX 5090 Mobile by 0.8%, the Radeon Pro 5500 XT by 1.3%, and the Arc A730M by 1.7%, while leading the RTX A6000 by 1.6%. These are small margins, all within roughly 2% of the average score, suggesting the RTX 4070 Ti sits in a tightly packed performance band. The H20 has no rivals listed, so no such comparison is possible.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the only product with measurable performance. It has an average benchmark score of 44,795, a percentile rank of 84, and a complete set of graphics and compute results. The NVIDIA H20 has no benchmarks, no average score, and no wins. Any user requiring graphics rendering, DirectX, Vulkan, or OpenGL support must choose the RTX 4070 Ti, as the H20 supports none of those APIs.

However, the specification sheet tells a different story for server workloads. The H20 offers 96 GB of HBM3 memory, 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth, 312 tensor cores, and 79.07 TFLOPS of FP16 throughput. The RTX 4070 Ti offers 12 GB of GDDR6X, 504.2 GB/s, 240 tensor cores, and 40.09 TFLOPS of FP16. For memory-bound or FP16-heavy data center tasks, the H20 has the hardware foundation, but the database contains no performance numbers to substantiate any advantage. The H20 is marked as Active in production status, while the RTX 4070 Ti is End-of-life.

The verdict depends on workload. For client graphics, gaming, or any task requiring a display output, the RTX 4070 Ti is the clear choice based on its measured results. For server-side AI or HPC with massive memory requirements, the H20 has the specifications, but the absence of benchmark data means no empirical confirmation exists in the database. The data does not support a recommendation for the H20 in any measured test, because no tests were recorded.
