NVIDIA H100 80GB vs NVIDIA H800 for local LLMs

6 reports on the NVIDIA H100 80GB and 0 on the NVIDIA H800

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 about the same on both (3,350 GB/s on the NVIDIA H100 80GB, 3,350 on the NVIDIA H800). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
