Default ranking

Our algorithm weighs five factors to find the most relevant matches for you:

  1. Price: We blend total hourly price with price-per-GPU to balance affordability and value.
  2. Specs: We favor offers with higher CPU, RAM, and GPU Memory.
  3. Billing: We favor on-demand billing for simplicity and flexibility over spot instances, reservations, and custom quotes.
  4. Location: We blend both datacenter proximity and provider HQ location. Datacenter location matters for latency, while HQ location matters for compliance and support.
  5. Provider diversity: Each time a provider appears in the list, their subsequent offerings are ranked a little lower, so one provider's offerings don't crowd out the top positions.

Sorting and filtering

Click any column header to sort by that column. Use the filters above the table to narrow results by billing type, GPU count, vCPUs, or RAM. Custom sorting resets the default relevance ranking.

Transparency and funding

Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are fixed at the top and clearly labeled as sponsored content.

Affiliates: Any affiliate links will be indicated to you as well. We may earn a commission if you click them, but this never influences the ranking order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the M60?

Dual-GPU card with 16GB total (8GB per die). Designed for virtual GPU (vGPU) and VDI workloads.

When is the M60 not a good fit?

Maxwell architecture. Best kept to legacy VDI deployments rather than AI or modern compute.

Are M60 prices going up or down?

On-demand pricing has remained stable, averaging around $1.08/hr per GPU.

What size AI models can the M60 run?

With 16GB of VRAM, the M60 is best for 7B-class models in 4-bit or 8-bit quantized form, and smaller models in FP16.

How much VRAM does the M60 have?

The M60 has 16GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the M60's memory bandwidth?

The M60 has 320 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the M60 support?

The M60 supports 1 precision formats. Training: FP32.

Does the M60 support NVLink?

No. The M60 is a PCIe-only GPU with no NVLink, so it is better suited to single-GPU inference and smaller-scale workloads than large distributed training jobs.

How much does the M60 cost per hour?

M60 pricing currently ranges from $0.21/hr to $1.14/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the M60 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one M60 can cost between $151.70 to $820.80 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the M60?

The M60 is available from 2 cloud providers: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure.

Can I rent the M60 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 16 M60 listings across 2 cloud providers:

Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr
On-demand 7 $1.08/hr
Reserved 6 $0.72/hr
Spot 3 $0.22/hr
