Nvidia 超昂贵的 H100 Hopper GPU 在游戏中接受测试

In case you didn’t know, AI and high performance computing is big business. There’s a reason Nvidia has a market cap of over a trillion dollars. That reason is exploding demand for its enterprise products including the mighty H100 料斗 GPU。是的,这款售价 30,000 美元甚至更多的怪物处理器与不起眼的 GeForce 游戏显卡有很多相同的 DNA。

作为一个有趣的实验,YouTuber 极客万 (通过 汤姆的硬件)用其中一张怪物卡进行了几个游戏基准测试。结果很有趣,尽管最终只是为了咯咯笑。

Geekerwan 使用的 H100 变体是 PCIe 版本。它配备 80GB HBM2e 内存、14,592 个 CUDA 核心和 350W TDP。将其与 RTX 4090 with 24Gb of GDDR6X, 16,384 CUDA cores and a 450W TDP. The H100 shouldn’t be a slouch right? 

Actually it’s very poor at gaming, with the card producing a 3DMark Time Spy graphics score of just 2,681. That’s less than Radeon 680M integrated graphics. In Red Dead Redemption 2, the card couldn’t even hit 30 FPS at 1080p.

In all seriousness, these results aren’t surprising. While the H100 is an immensely powerful card, it’s not designed for graphics applications. In fact, it doesn’t even have display outputs. The system needed a secondary GPU to provide a display. It also lacks some other fixed hardware critical for gaming.

Then there’s the fact the driver is completely unoptimized for gaming. During the gaming tests, the GPUs power consumption was sub 100W, indicating a major lack of utilization.

So, if you’ve got $30,000 to burn, buy a car. Or buy an RTX 4090 system and a car with the money you’ll have left over. The mighty H100 card is not what you’d use to power the ultimate gaming rig.
