A10 pricing
What the NVIDIA A10 costs right now: 4 tracked on-demand rates, the spread between them, the used market, and what the hourly number turns into when you own the card instead.
The headline on A10 pricing is the spread: the same card costs 2.7x more at the top of the market than at the bottom. The floor comes from Lambda (a GPU-first neocloud), the ceiling from OCI, where you are paying for the ecosystem around the GPU as much as the silicon. Every rate below is an on-demand list price; commit to reserved or spot capacity and 30-70% comes off. The quiet default for 7B-class production inference on AWS and Oracle.
A10 rental prices by provider
| Provider | $/GPU-hr | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lambda | $0.75 | neocloud |
| AWS | $1.01 | g5.xlarge (A10G) |
| Modal | $1.10 | Serverless A10G |
| OCI | $2.00 | VM.GPU.A10.1 |
Buying instead: the used market
Working A10 pulls currently trade around $1,100, with warrantied refurb channel units above that. Amortized over 36 months at 60% utilization with industrial power, that is an effective ~$0.08 per GPU-hour, below even the cheapest rental in the table above. The crossover depends entirely on your utilization: run your own numbers in the ROI calculator, and read the second-life guide before buying pulled hardware.
