GPU comparison

GH200 vs RTX A6000.

The GH200 is ahead on memory (96 GB vs 48 GB) and speed (6.4x the FP16 throughput and up to 5.2x the memory bandwidth). The RTX A6000 makes sense when your model fits in 48 GB and its hourly price is lower.

Rent either on Runcrate

Live hourly price, then per GB of memory and per 100 FP16 TFLOPS.

Which is better for

Which to pick for each job. Memory fit and throughput, from the datasheets.

  • Hold a 70B model in 8-bit weights

    70 GB of 8-bit weights

    GH200: 1 GPU, 26 GB spare

    RTX A6000: 2 GPUs (96 GB)

    GH200. Fits on one GPU.

  • Serve an 8B model in 16-bit weights

    16 GB of 16-bit weights

    GH200: 1 GPU, 80 GB spare

    RTX A6000: 1 GPU, 32 GB spare

    GH200. Same GPU count, up to 5.2x the memory bandwidth.

  • Fine-tune a 70B model with QLoRA

    About 46 GB with 4-bit weights

    GH200: 1 GPU, 50 GB spare

    RTX A6000: 1 GPU, 2 GB spare

    GH200. Same GPU count, 6.4x the FP16 throughput.

  • Train on a full node

    FP16 tensor throughput per node

    GH200: 1x, 990 TFLOPS

    RTX A6000: 2x, 310 TFLOPS, NVLink

    GH200. 6.4x the FP16 throughput per GPU.

  • Throughput per watt

    FP16 TFLOPS per 100 W of TDP

    GH200: Superchip power, not a GPU TDP

    RTX A6000: 52 TFLOPS per 100 W

    Either. Not comparable.
