Get quotes for the A100 80GB. A person at GPU Economy reads your request and passes it to up to three providers that list a rate for the card, the cheapest listed first; the quotes come from them, directly to you.
We may be paid a fee if a request becomes a contract; who receives it follows the listed rates, never a fee, and it changes no published rate or the Price Index (how, privacy).
As of , the cheapest listed rate for the NVIDIA A100 80GB is $0.40 per GPU-hour on Google Cloud (spot, us-west4). The cheapest on-demand rate is $1.05 on CloudRift. Across 58 providers, the median rate card — each provider’s cheapest on-demand rate, community capacity and marketplace floors out — is $2.00 per GPU-hour, and the middle half of those rate cards sits between $1.49 and $2.77. Between rate cards, on-demand rates for the same card run from $1.05 (CloudRift) to $6.82 (Servercore), 6.5× apart across 58 providers. By market, the cheapest listed rates are $0.40 spot (Google Cloud, GPU only), $1.07 on community capacity (Vast.ai, floor), $1.05 on-demand (CloudRift), $0.95 reserved with no stated term (CloudRift), $0.94 on a 1-year commitment (Seeweb) and $1.36 on a 3-year commitment (Microsoft Azure). On a single rate card, Microsoft Azure (eastus2) lists it at $3.67 on-demand, $1.36 on a 3-year commitment and $0.68 spot: a commitment is paid whether the GPU runs or not, and spot capacity can be reclaimed mid-run. To buy, the median new-condition listing is $9,999 across 6 sellers. With 80 GB of VRAM, that is $0.013 per GB of memory per hour at the cheapest on-demand rate and $0.025 at the median.

Dated pieces on the NVIDIA A100 80GB: — Lium first read October 17, 2026: 8×A100 80GB node $13.44 an hour. Each is frozen as of its date.
As of , 4 providers price the NVIDIA A100 80GB on-demand as a whole 8-GPU node: from $12.22 per node-hour (Gcore, 8×A100 SXM, Bare Metal GPU Clusters, $1.53 per GPU) to $27.45 (Amazon Web Services, p4de.24xlarge, us-east-1, $3.43 per GPU), 2.2× apart. 8 GPUs at the cheapest on-demand rate ($1.05 on CloudRift) come to $8.40 an hour, where a provider rents 8 to one account and they need not share a unit. A unit price is what the provider quotes for the 8 GPUs together; whether it also rents one is not part of the quote. 3 price it in units of 2, 2 price it in units of 4 — the rate table below names each quote's own unit.
How it is computed
What we measure
Publicly listed rental prices for 79 GPU models (NVIDIA and AMD) at 99 providers — 1165 current quotes across seven markets — and the retail price of the cards.
Where it comes from
Each provider's own pricing page or API; retail from reseller pages. Every figure links back to its source.
How it is normalised
Node prices are divided by GPU count, per-second rates multiplied out, a price listed in another currency shown as listed, beside its USD figure at the dated official rate (ECB; the Bank of Russia for RUB and VND). A reservation published as a total for its term is divided by the hours in that term, 8,760 per year.
What is modelled, not measured
One figure: cost per million output tokens, a listed rate divided by the throughput NVIDIA published for that card, published with the run that produced it in /token-cost.json, not on this page. Risk is not a model — it is read off the market a quote is from.
What we never do
Never estimate a price, never convert a currency silently, never publish a number a reader cannot verify on the linked page.

At the cheapest on-demand rate ($1.05/hour on CloudRift), that purchase price equals about 9,523 GPU-hours of rental — roughly 13 months of continuous use. The lower spot rate ($0.40 on Google Cloud) is left out: that capacity can be reclaimed or moves with supply. Power, hosting, cooling and idle time are not counted.
