According to a report by MyDrivers, Many Chinese startups working in the AI space are reportedly preferring the RTX 4090, one of the best graphics cards, over the China-focused Nvidia H20 AI GPUs. It’s been said that the sanctions-compliant Nvidia HGX H20 is just too expensive for many small and medium-sized companies, primarily because it does not deliver the performance levels you can find in the original A100 and H100 AI GPUs.
One eight-card H20 server costs about 1.3 million yuan. On the other hand, a single RTX 4090 costs between 16,000 and 20,000 yuan. Even if you price each RTX 4090 GPU at 20,000 yuan, 1.3 million yuan will already get you 65 copies of the top-tier consumer GPU.
