A workstation GPU against a data center card, one Ampere and one Hopper: 12 GB GDDR6 against 80 GB HBM3, 12x the memory bandwidth on the H100, and NVLink 900 GB/s on the H100 where the RTX A2000 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | RTX A2000 | H100 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | -- /GPU/hr from $1.20 | $3.39 /GPU/hr from $1.10 | |
| Reserved | No reserved listings | $3.12 /GPU/hr from $1.53 (1 mo) | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.80 | $2.08 /GPU/hr from $0.19 |
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 A2000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
