Rule: lowest provider-set on-demand price per GPU-hour divided by memory in GB. Price per GB ignores memory bandwidth and compute, so it ranks how much memory an hour buys and nothing about how fast it is used.

Classes
Consumer, workstation and datacenter
| Class | GPU models | Lowest per GB | Median per GB | Highest per GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| consumer | 3 | $0.010 | $0.011 | $0.014 |
| workstation | 5 | $0.007 | $0.016 | $0.085 |
| datacenter | 16 | $0.008 | $0.018 | $0.042 |
Class comes from our GPU catalog. Datacenter cards carry fast memory and features that consumer cards lack, which is why they cost more per GB.
Questions
Which GPU has the lowest price per GB?
RTX A6000, at $0.007 per GB-hour ($0.35 for 48 GB at Thunder Compute).
Does a low price per GB mean a good value?
Only for jobs bound by memory size. Speed, memory bandwidth and software support are not in this number, and an older card can win on price per GB and lose on time to finish.
Why do consumer cards rank lower?
They have fewer GB per card, but their listings are low: the median consumer price per GB is $0.011 against $0.018 for datacenter cards.
