4 GPU models

How this list works

Order

  • By GPU model: one card per GPU, the most looked-up models first, then the most widely offered ones.
  • By configuration: every configuration we track. What you can rent now comes first, and within that one row per GPU model before any repeats, so the opening rows cover the range rather than one model's sizes.

The price on a card

Each card leads with a per GPU per hour rate. We prefer configurations the provider reports as in stock, on-demand rates before reserved or spot, then take the lowest per-GPU rate among those.

Search

We match the 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.

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. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price. See Thunder Compute's pricing.
