NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER vs NVIDIA H100 CNX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single benchmark entry for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it scores 2690 points. The NVIDIA H100 CNX has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, and the head-to-head comparison table is empty. This means direct performance comparisons between these two cards cannot be established from measured data alone.

However, the RTX 5070 SUPER's score can be placed in context using its nearest rivals. The RTX 5070 SUPER sits 1% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664 points), 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2662 points), 1.1% ahead of the Intel Arc Pro B50 (2660 points), and 1.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (2645 points). These deltas are narrow, indicating that in this specific DX12 test, the RTX 5070 SUPER performs at a level just above these older or lower-tier parts, but the margin is slim.

The H100 CNX, with an average benchmark score of 0 and no recorded tests, cannot be ranked against the RTX 5070 SUPER in any workload. Its percentile versus all GPUs is listed at 50, which reflects its position in the overall distribution, but this is not derived from the same benchmark suite. The data shows that for the H100 CNX, the database lacks the measurements needed to compute a competitive score. The RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, has a percentile of 18, meaning it outperforms 18% of all GPUs in the database based on its recorded Steel Nomad result.

The absence of head-to-head results and the zero wins for either card mean that any performance comparison must rely on the specification sheet and the single benchmark for the RTX 5070 SUPER. The H100 CNX is a server-oriented accelerator with no gaming or workstation graphics benchmarks recorded, while the RTX 5070 SUPER is a consumer graphics card with one DX12 test. The data does not support a claim that one is faster than the other in any specific metric.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the RTX 5070 SUPER wins in several consumer-facing metrics. It has a higher base and boost clock, a lower power draw at 275 W versus 350 W, and includes display outputs with modern API support. Its pixel rate is significantly higher at 201.0 GPixel/s, and it has a much higher ROP count at 80. The RTX 5070 SUPER is the only one of the two with a recorded benchmark score, and that score places it above its nearest rivals in the Steel Nomad DX12 test.

The H100 CNX wins in raw compute and memory capacity. It has a massive 80 GB of HBM2e memory with 2.04 TB/s bandwidth, compared to 18 GB GDDR7 at 672.0 GB/s. Its FP32 throughput is 53.84 TFLOPS, which is 67% higher than the RTX 5070 SUPER's 32.15 TFLOPS. FP16 performance is even more dominant at 215.4 TFLOPS versus 32.15 TFLOPS, a 6.7-fold advantage. The H100 CNX also has more shading units (14,592 versus 6,400) and more tensor cores (456 versus 200). Its texture rate of 841.3 GTexel/s exceeds the RTX 5070 SUPER's 502.4 GTexel/s. The H100 CNX's transistor count of 80,000 million and die size of 814 mm² indicate a much larger and more complex chip.

The absence of a benchmark for the H100 CNX means its wins are entirely speculative from specifications. The RTX 5070 SUPER's win in the only recorded test is real but narrow. For gaming and workstation graphics with display output, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the clear choice based on API support and the presence of a measured DX12 score. For compute-heavy workloads that leverage high FP16 throughput and massive memory bandwidth, the H100 CNX's specifications point to advantages, but the database contains no measured evidence of its performance.

The Verdict

The data in this comparison is lopsided. The RTX 5070 SUPER has one recorded benchmark, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which places it just ahead of several older cards. The H100 CNX has no recorded benchmarks, no average score, and no rivals listed. This makes a direct performance verdict impossible. What the database does show is that these are two very different products with distinct design goals.

The RTX 5070 SUPER is a GeForce 50-series consumer card with a 5 nm Blackwell 2.0 chip, 18 GB of GDDR7, and full DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support. It is built for graphics rendering and gaming, with a 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 80 ROPs. Its measured performance, while modest, is verified. The H100 CNX is a Hopper server accelerator with 80 GB of HBM2e, 456 tensor cores, and no display outputs. Its FP16 throughput of 215.4 TFLOPS and 2.04 TB/s bandwidth point to a compute-first design, but the database has no test results to confirm its real-world speed.

For a user selecting based on measured data, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the only card with a recorded win. For a user selecting based on raw specifications for server-side compute, the H100 CNX offers higher FP32 and FP16 numbers, more memory, and more bandwidth. The lack of head-to-head benchmarks means the database cannot establish a performance hierarchy. The verdict is straightforward: pick the RTX 5070 SUPER if the workload requires graphics output and modern APIs, and pick the H100 CNX if the workload demands maximum FP16 throughput and memory capacity, but recognize that the latter choice is unsupported by benchmark data in this database.
