NVIDIA H100 80GB vs NVIDIA H200 for local LLMs
6 reports on the NVIDIA H100 80GB and 2 on the NVIDIA H200
Which is faster for local LLMs?
Nobody has reported the same model at the same quant on both cards yet, so there's no measured head-to-head. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 43% higher on the NVIDIA H200 (3,350 GB/s on the NVIDIA H100 80GB, 4,800 on the NVIDIA H200). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
