Datacenter flagship · Hopper architecture

The H100 SXM is the reference training GPU of its generation: 80 GB HBM3 at 3.35 TB/s, 700 W and full 900 GB/s NVLink on 8-GPU HGX baseboards. It is the deepest pool on the sheet, which keeps interruptible slots available, and the price-performance default for pre-training, RLHF and full fine-tunes.

This is training-grade silicon: HBM3 memory feeding tensor cores at multi-TB/s, NVLink for scaling past one card, and the reliability profile of Tier-III datacenter hosts. Teams rent it for pre-training, long fine-tunes and high-throughput inference where batch size is money.

Bandwidth, CUDA cores, TDP and FP32 are public NVIDIA figures; FP16 tensor is the dense (non-sparsity) number. Machine-level values come from live inventory.

## H100 SXM price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved

One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the H100 SXM ($2.04/hr, snapshot 2026-09-14) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $1.428, **30% below market**. Interruptible halves it; a 3-month reservation takes another 35% off.

| Mode | Per GPU-hour | Per day (24 h) | Per month (730 h) | What you get |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **On-demand** | $1.428 | $34.27 | $1,042 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime |
| **Interruptible** | $0.714 | $17.14 | $521 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue |
| **Reserved (3 months)** | $0.928 | $22.27 | $677 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held |

Per GPU: an 8× machine costs exactly 8× — no multi-GPU premium. Estimate a full month with storage and bandwidth in the [GPU cost calculator](https://powergpu.ai/calculator).

## What you can run on a H100 SXM (80 GB VRAM)

With 80 GB of HBM3, a single card holds a **~32B-parameter LLM in FP16** or up to **~123B parameters quantized to 4-bit**, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 8× GPUs on one machine with NVLink for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $1.428.

## H100 SXM vs alternatives: price per TFLOP

| GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **H100 SXM** (this card) | 80 GB | 990 | $1.428 | $1.44‰ |
| [A100 SXM4](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/a100-sxm4) | 80 GB | 312 | $0.560 | $1.79‰ |
| [H200](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/h200) | 141 GB | 990 | $2.791 | $2.82‰ |
| [B200](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/b200) | 192 GB | 2,250 | $5.425 | $2.41‰ |
| [B300](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/b300) | 288 GB | 2,800 | $6.737 | $2.41‰ |

‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards.

## Renting a H100 SXM: frequently asked questions

**How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA H100 SXM per hour?**

$1.428 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $2.04. Interruptible capacity costs $0.714/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.928/hr. Around $1,042/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second.

**What can a H100 SXM with 80 GB VRAM run?**

In LLM terms, roughly a 32B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~123B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 8× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class.

**Is the H100 SXM available to rent right now?**

Yes — 54 GPUs across 12 machines in 7 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 8× with NVLink on multi-GPU chassis. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds.

**How do I deploy a H100 SXM?**

Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by H100 SXM, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu h100-sxm --template pytorch.

**Why is the H100 SXM cheaper here than on GPU marketplaces?**

We price from the public marketplace median and fix our on-demand rate at least 30% below it, rounded down. The price is re-checked weekly (next check 2026-09-21) and published — no auctions, no per-host roulette, no bidding.
