How this list works

The two views

By provider shows one card per company, placed where its best offer ranked. By configuration lists every offer.

Order

What you can rent comes first: in stock, then waitlist, then not reported, then out of stock. Priced offers rank ahead of quote-only, and on-demand ahead of other billing types.

Within a group, five factors set the order, largest first:

  1. Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
  2. Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
  3. Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
  4. Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
  5. Provider diversity: in By configuration, a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.

Search

We match the provider, GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.

Transparency and funding

  • Ads and sponsors: Paid placements sit at the top of the list and are always labeled as sponsored content. Sponsorship never influences the organic ranking itself.
  • Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.
  • Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the P100?

16GB HBM2 with FP16 and FP64 support. Very low cost per hour. Useful for legacy workloads, scientific computing, and basic GPU development.

When is the P100 not a good fit?

Pascal architecture, 3+ generations behind. No Tensor Cores, no BF16, no INT8. Only viable for legacy FP32/FP64 scientific workloads or basic GPU development.

Are P100 prices going up or down?

The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 11% since August 2025, from $1.28 to $1.42/hr per GPU. This reflects the market-wide median, which moves both when providers change prices and when lower or higher priced offerings enter the market.

What size AI models can the P100 run?

With 16GB of VRAM, the P100 is best for 7B-class models in 4-bit or 8-bit quantized form, and smaller models in FP16.

How much VRAM does the P100 have?

The P100 has 16GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the P100's memory bandwidth?

The P100 has 732 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the P100 support?

The P100 supports 3 precision formats. Training: FP16, FP32. Scientific: FP64.

Does the P100 support NVLink?

Yes. The P100 supports NVLink with 160 GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth. This helps accelerate multi-GPU communication.

How much does the P100 cost per hour?

P100 pricing currently ranges from $0.12/hr to $2.22/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the P100 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one P100 can cost between $89.50 to $1,598.40 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the P100?

The P100 is available from 6 cloud providers, including Scaleway, Alibaba Cloud, Database Mart. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.

Can I rent the P100 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 59 P100 listings across 6 cloud providers:

Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr
On-demand 20 $1.52/hr
Reserved 28 $1.05/hr
Spot 11 $0.17/hr
