Why the SXM5 costs what it does
Against the other priced NVIDIA H100 variants: the price floor, what a GB-hour and a PFLOP-hour cost, and the specs that explain the gap.
The SXM5 is the H100 as NVIDIA builds it for training: a 700 W module that only exists on an HGX baseboard, eight to a node, with NVLink joining every GPU in the box. The PCIe card is the same chip held to 350 W in a standard server slot, with about 40 percent less memory bandwidth and lower rated throughput. A bridge links a pair of cards; the baseboard links all eight.
That node is what the hourly rate carries. An HGX box costs more to buy, power and cool than a card server, so on paper the SXM5 should be dearer. It usually is not, because it is the one the clouds built their capacity around: far more providers list it, in 1x through 8x configurations, and that depth pushes the floor down. The PCIe card sells into a thinner market and prices like it.
Rent the SXM5 for anything spanning more than one GPU. Take the PCIe card when a single-GPU job is the whole workload.
Floors are the cheapest live listing of any pricing type; medians are of each provider's cheapest on-demand rate. Per GB-hour divides the floor by memory, per PFLOP-hour by dense throughput on the family's basis.

Which provider has the cheapest NVIDIA H100 SXM5?
Nebius has the cheapest NVIDIA H100 SXM5 in stock right now at $0.79 per GPU-hour spot for the 1× H100 SXM5 configuration. That is a spot rate; see the provider table for the cheapest on-demand listing. Rates change often, so check the provider table for today's figure before you commit.
Are NVIDIA H100 SXM5 rental prices going up or down?
The weekly median on-demand rate for the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 is down 5.5% over the last 4 weeks, from $3.85 to $3.64 per GPU-hour.
What is the difference between on-demand, spot and reserved NVIDIA H100 SXM5 pricing?
On-demand is pay-as-you-go with no commitment. Spot is spare capacity sold at a discount that the provider can reclaim at short notice. Reserved is a committed term, usually months, in exchange for a lower rate. Community is capacity from individual hosts on a marketplace, cheaper and less uniform. This week's median rates for the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 are on-demand $3.64 (29 providers), spot $2.24 (6 providers), reserved $3.19 (5 providers), community $2.80 (4 providers), per GPU-hour.
How many cloud providers rent the NVIDIA H100 SXM5?
We track 32 providers with 68 live prices for the NVIDIA H100 SXM5. Sold-out listings stay in the table so you can see who normally carries it, but never set the cheapest figure.
What LLMs can you run on one NVIDIA H100 SXM5?
With 8-bit weights and a single sequence of context, one NVIDIA H100 SXM5 holds gpt-oss-20b (20.9B), Gemma 3 27B (27.4B), Qwen3-32B (32.8B), Llama 3.3 70B Instruct (70.6B). See the model fit table for the full ladder.
How does the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 compare on price per PFLOP-hour?
At its cheapest in-stock on-demand rate the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 delivers dense FP8 compute at $1.01 per PFLOP-hour, which ranks 7 of 31 priced GPUs we cover on that basis. Lower is better: it is the rental price divided by peak FP8 throughput.
Where does this NVIDIA H100 SXM5 pricing data come from?
Prices are read daily from each provider's public price list or API and recorded whenever they change. Listings are shown per GPU-hour on-demand unless marked otherwise, and the chart covers the last 30 days. The newest listing was checked 5h ago.
Why does the SXM5 cost less than the PCIe?
The SXM5 rents from $0.79 per GPU-hour, 57% less than the PCIe at $1.83. The SXM5 is an SXM module, rated at 700 W against 350 W for the PCIe card. Hosting a module with that power and interconnect budget costs more than hosting a card, and the hourly rate carries it.
