A data center GPU against a workstation card, one Hopper and one Ada Lovelace: 80 GB HBM3 against 20 GB GDDR6, 9.3x the memory bandwidth on the H100, and NVLink 900 GB/s on the H100 where the RTX 4000 Ada is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | H100 | RTX 4000 Ada | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $3.39 /GPU/hr from $1.55 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.52 | |
| Reserved | $3.10 /GPU/hr from $1.53 (1 mo) | On request | |
| Spot | $2.00 /GPU/hr from $0.02 | No spot listings |
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 RTX 4000 Ada: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
