Price comparison

Nvidia RTX 2070 logo RTX 2070 Pricing

Barriers to entry are low here. 2 cloud providers list the RTX 2070 with prices starting at just $0.04/hr per GPU (on-demand), making it accessible for testing without a large commitment.

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.
