A data center GPU against a consumer card, one Ampere and one Ada Lovelace: 80 GB HBM2e against 12 GB GDDR6X, 3.8x the memory bandwidth on the A100, and NVLink 600 GB/s on the A100 where the RTX 4070 Ti is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A100 | RTX 4070 Ti | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.81 /GPU/hr from $0.89 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.19 | |
| Reserved | $1.60 /GPU/hr from $0.66 (24 mo) | No reserved listings | |
| Spot | $1.20 /GPU/hr from $0.67 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.08 |
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for on-demand and spot on the RTX 4070 Ti: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
