Although compute GPUs like Nvidia’s H100 formally belong to the category of graphics processing units, they can barely render graphics as they do not have enough special-purpose hardware. As it turns out Nvidia’s H100, a card that costs over $30,000 performs worse than integrated GPUs in such benchmarks as 3DMark and Red Dead Redemption 2, as discovered by Geekerwan.
Nvidia’s H100 card is based on the company’s GH100 processor with 14,592 CUDA cores that support a variety of data formats used for AI and HPC workloads, including FP64, TF32, FP32, FP16, INT8, and FP8. By contrast, Nvidia’s consumer GPUs, such as Nvidia’s AD102, only properly support FP32.
