V100 pricing
What the NVIDIA V100 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 V100 pricing is the spread: the same card costs 14.6x more at the top of the market than at the bottom. The floor comes from Vast.ai (a peer-to-peer marketplace, cheapest but with host-trust trade-offs), the ceiling from AWS, 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 first Tensor Core GPU. Retired from the frontier, still cheap and capable for small models.
V100 rental prices by provider
| Provider | $/GPU-hr | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vast.ai | $0.21 | Verified-listing rate, refreshed daily |
| RunPod | $0.29 | neocloud |
| OVHcloud | $0.88 | hyperscaler |
| AWS | $3.06 | p3.2xlarge, legacy pricing |
Buying instead: the used market
Working V100 pulls currently trade around $450, with warrantied refurb channel units above that. Amortized over 36 months at 60% utilization with industrial power, that is an effective ~$0.05 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.
