DigitalOcean GPUs
Here are some of the GPU configurations offered by DigitalOcean:
How this list works
Order
- By GPU model: one card per GPU, most widely offered models first.
- By configuration: every configuration we track. What you can rent now comes first, and within that one row per GPU model before any repeats, so the opening rows cover the range rather than one model's sizes.
The price on a card
Each card leads with a per GPU per hour rate. We prefer configurations the provider reports as in stock, and on-demand rates over spot or reserved ones, then take the lowest price among those.
Search
- Matching is partial and case-insensitive, so results can include entries that do not contain your words exactly. Searching "h100" also returns "H100 NVL", and "reserved" also returns reservations.
- Every word you type has to match. "h100 spot" shows only H100s sold on spot.
Sorting
Click any column heading to sort by it.
Transparency and funding
- Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are labeled as sponsored content.
- Affiliates: Any affiliate links are indicated to you. We may earn a commission if you click them, but this never influences the order.
- Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.
