V100 vs A100 - GPU Benchmark Comparison

Directe prestatievergelijking tussen de V100 en A100 across 24 standardized AI benchmarks collected from our production fleet. Testing shows the V100 winning 0 out of 24 benchmarks (0% win rate), while the A100 wins 24 tests. All 24 benchmark results are automatically gathered from active rental servers, providing real-world performance data rather than synthetic testing.

LLM Inference Performance: V100 25% slower

In language model inference testing across 4 different models, the V100 is 25% slower than the A100 on average. For gpt-oss:20b inference, the V100 reaches 113 tokens/s while the A100 achieves 149 tokens/s, making the V100 significantly slower with a 24% deficit. Overall, the V100 wins 0 out of 4 LLM tests with an average 25% performance difference, making the A100 the better option for LLM inference tasks.

Image Generation Performance: V100 55% slower

Evaluating AI image generation across 20 different Stable Diffusion models, the V100 is 55% slower than the A100 in this category. When testing flux-schnell, the V100 completes generations at 0.77 images/min while the A100 achieves 2.8 images/min, making the V100 substantially slower with a 73% deficit. Across all 20 image generation benchmarks, the V100 wins 0 tests with an average 55% performance difference, making the A100 the better choice for Stable Diffusion, SDXL, and Flux workloads.

About These Benchmarks of V100 vs A100

Our benchmarks are collected automatically from servers having gpus of type V100 and A100 in our fleet using standardized test suites:

LLM Inferentie (Ollama & VLLM): Measures tokens per second of V100 compared to A100 for LLM inference using various models (Llama, Qwen, etc.) on both Ollama and VLLM with FP8 quantization
Afbeeldinggeneratie: Measures images per minute and seconds per image for AI image generation on the V100 compared to A100
CPU: Single-core and multi-core operations per second representing GPU Servers you can rent with V100 or A100
NVMe: Read and write speeds in MB/s for storage performance on GPU Servers typically equipped with V100 or A100

Note: V100 and A100 AI Benchmark Results may vary based on system load, configuration, and specific hardware revisions. These benchmarks represent median values from multiple test runs of V100 and A100.
