choose the exact configuration before comparing price40GB vs 80GB
The memory labels are not interchangeable. Use the 80GB series when your model, batch, or optimizer state needs the extra capacity; otherwise compare the 40GB series on its own economics.
SXM vs PCIe
Provider-disclosed SXM and PCIe inventory remains in separate indexes. An A100 listing with unclear memory or form factor is not forced into one of these four series.
What the price means
The primary figure is total instance price divided by GPU count. Negotiated rates, performance, startup latency, and ancillary CPU or networking costs may differ.
Common A100 price questions
current public-listing scopeHow much does an NVIDIA A100 cost per hour in the cloud?
As of 2026-10-26, the lowest A100 headline price among the four tracked 40GB/80GB and SXM/PCIe variants is $1.35/GPU/hr for A100 PCIe 80GB. Each variant page shows its own provider coverage and price basis.
What is the difference between A100 40GB and A100 80GB?
The variants have different GPU memory capacity. Choose the 80GB model when the workload needs the additional memory; compare exact hourly prices rather than treating all A100 listings as interchangeable.
Should I compare A100 SXM and PCIe prices separately?
Yes. gpuprice.fyi keeps provider-disclosed SXM and PCIe listings in separate price series because form factor and deployment shape can affect comparability.
