Image is broken, and I will use my magic ball and say that image was showing LAR systems broken entry into their database. The entry is broken, and does not show real FAH performance on that GPU.
H100 has 67TFLOPS of FP32 performance
5090 has 105 TFLOPS of FP32 performance
4090 has 82.6 TFLOPS of FP32 performance

So other than a novelty impression that someone is using that overpriced piece of hardware for folding, there is no significance in that :)
What I am saying, it is cool people test their magically expensive toys with FAH, but 5090 is still the fastest GPU for FAH

Fixed the link.

Yes I see what you mean about the numbers. I'm curious how data sent to lar.systems gets broken?
And lets be honest, I think a lot of people would call the 5090 a magically expensive toy too :wink:

If people are folding on older fahclient, data taken by LAR can be very unreliable. v8 is more friendly with info it provides to LAR extension

Yes, someone on Discord asked me to add such GPUs to stress test their brand new systems before moving into production.
