NVIDIA H200 NVL (PCIe)

No editorial image yet — generic vendor mark shown. Credentials in spec table below.

The PCIe-form-factor variant of the H200. Same 141 GB HBM3e, same memory subsystem (~4.8 TB/s bandwidth), in a dual-slot workstation card rather than the SXM5 datacenter module. For operators who want H200-class capacity in a standard PCIe slot (workstation deployments, single-node serving), the NVL is the realistic path. Two cards in NVLink Bridge pair to act as an effective 282 GB pool.

Sub-scores sum to 977 / 1000. Headline = 977 × 0.70 (Estimated-confidence discount) = 684. This is an algorithmic performance-tier score — distinct from, and often lower than, the editorial “Our verdict” below, which weighs value and real-world fit (especially for hardware we haven’t measured yet). How scoring works →

Extrapolated from 4800 GB/s bandwidth — 576.0 tok/s estimated. No measured benchmarks yet.

Plain-English: Runs 70B comfortably — snappy enough for a coding agent; vision models supported.

BLK · OVERVIEW

Overview

The PCIe-form-factor variant of the H200. Same 141 GB HBM3e, same memory subsystem (~4.8 TB/s bandwidth), in a dual-slot workstation card rather than the SXM5 datacenter module. For operators who want H200-class capacity in a standard PCIe slot (workstation deployments, single-node serving), the NVL is the realistic path. Two cards in NVLink Bridge pair to act as an effective 282 GB pool. Realistic deployment: production inference serving via vLLM or TensorRT-LLM, large-context RAG over enterprise corpora, 70B-class fine-tuning. Not for consumer rigs.
