A data center GPU against a consumer card, one Grace Hopper and one Ampere: 96 GB HBM3 against 8 GB GDDR6, 18x the memory bandwidth on the GH200, and NVLink 900 GB/s on the GH200 where the RTX 3050 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | GH200 | RTX 3050 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | -- /GPU/hr from $2.52 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.07 | |
| Spot | Sold out | -- /GPU/hr from $0.03 |
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 on the GH200 and on-demand and spot on the RTX 3050: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
