What actually differs
The GeForce RTX 5090 is the newer part: Blackwell, launched in 2025, against the GB200's Blackwell from 2024. Newer architectures typically add lower-precision formats and better throughput per watt, so check the precision rows your workload actually uses.
Dense throughput for the GB200 against the GeForce RTX 5090: FP64 40 vs 1.6 TFLOPS, FP32 80 vs 105 TFLOPS, FP16 2,500 vs 419 TFLOPS, FP8 5,000 vs 838 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 186 GB against 32 GB, fed at 8.0 TB/s versus 1.8 TB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.
For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
