H100 PCIe pricing

What the NVIDIA H100 PCIe costs right now: 5 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 H100 PCIe pricing is the spread: the same card costs 1.9x more at the top of the market than at the bottom. The floor comes from Hyperstack (a GPU-first neocloud), the ceiling from OVHcloud, 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. Hopper in a standard PCIe slot: ~75% of SXM compute at half the power, often meaningfully cheaper.

Buying instead: the used market

Working H100 PCIe pulls currently trade around $19,500, with warrantied refurb channel units above that. Amortized over 36 months at 60% utilization with industrial power, that is an effective ~$1.26 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.
