A consumer GPU against a workstation card, one Turing and one Blackwell: 8 GB GDDR6 against 48 GB GDDR7, 3x the memory bandwidth on the RTX PRO 5000, and NVLink 50 GB/s on the RTX 2080 where the RTX PRO 5000 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | RTX 2080 | RTX PRO 5000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | -- /GPU/hr from $0.08 | Sold out | |
| Reserved | No reserved listings | -- /GPU/hr from $0.50 (24 mo) | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.05 | 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 and spot on the RTX 2080 and reserved on the RTX PRO 5000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
