GPU comparison · Blackwell vs Hopper
NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 vs H200.
The Blackwell RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition against the Hopper H200. Dense FP8 and BF16 throughput is about the same on paper. The H200 has 141 GB of HBM3e, three times the memory bandwidth (4.8 against 1.6 TB/s) and NVLink; the RTX PRO 6000 has 96 GB of GDDR7 with ECC, FP4 tensor cores and costs $959 against $2,279 per GPU per month.

RTX PRO 6000 vs H200: which one to rent.
Choose the RTX PRO 6000 if
- Your model fits in 96 GB per GPU: a 70B-class model in FP8 (about 84 GB) on one card.
- You run FP4 checkpoints: the RTX PRO 6000 has FP4 tensor cores, Hopper GPUs do not.
- You want the lower price per GB of GPU memory: $9.99 against $16.16 a month.
Choose the H200 if
- Token generation is bound by memory bandwidth in your workload: 4.8 TB/s against 1.6 TB/s.
- Your model needs more than 96 GB per GPU: 141 GB holds about 108B parameters in FP8 by our sizing rule.
- You train across several GPUs: the H200 has NVLink (900 GB/s between GPUs), the RTX PRO 6000 connects over PCIe.

RTX PRO 6000 vs H200 FAQ.
More on each GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 · NVIDIA H200.
Is the H200 faster than the RTX PRO 6000?
For compute-bound work the two are close on paper: about 2,000 TFLOPS of dense FP8 on each. The H200 is faster where memory limits the work, as in LLM token generation, with 4.8 TB/s against 1.6 TB/s, and across several GPUs thanks to NVLink. We do not publish benchmarks.
How much more does an H200 cost to rent?
Per GPU per month, $2,279 against $959. Per GB of GPU memory the RTX PRO 6000 is cheaper: $9.99 against $16.16 a month.
Can a 70B model run on one RTX PRO 6000?
Yes in FP8: it needs about 84 GB by our rule of thumb and the card has 96 GB. One H200 holds it too, with more room left for the KV cache.
