A data center GPU against a consumer card, one Hopper and one Ada Lovelace: 80 GB HBM3 against 16 GB GDDR6X, 4.7x the memory bandwidth on the H100, and NVLink 900 GB/s on the H100 where the RTX 4080 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | H100 | RTX 4080 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $3.25 /GPU/hr from $1.10 | $0.25 /GPU/hr from $0.23 | 13x more expensive on H100 |
| Reserved | $3.19 /GPU/hr from $1.53 (1 mo) | -- /GPU/hr from $0.20 (1 mo) | |
| Spot | $2.08 /GPU/hr from $0.19 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.11 |
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 reserved and spot on the RTX 4080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
