Three prices
Three budgets, three price points
GPU-hours = budget ÷ price. Whole GPUs for the month = GPU-hours ÷ 720, rounded down.

The figure under each count is GPU-hours (budget ÷ price), rounded to the hour.
Whole servers
In 8-GPU servers
Eight-GPU configurations are sold whole, so the count of GPUs moves in steps of eight.
| Budget a month | Servers for 720 hours | GPUs | Left over |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 0 | 0 | $5,000.00 |
| $20,000 | 0 | 0 | $20,000.00 |
| $50,000 | 2 | 16 | $9,795.20 |
Lowest solid 8-GPU listing: Civo, $3.49 × 8 = $27.92 per server-hour, × 720 = $20,102.40 per server for the month.
Questions
Budgets, answered
- How many H200s can $20,000 a month run?
- At the lowest solid price, $3.49 at Civo: $20,000 ÷ $3.49 = 5,730.7 GPU-hours, ÷ 720 = 7.96, so 7 GPUs for a full month. At the median ($5.40) it is 5, and at the highest ($10.60) it is 2.
- How are GPU-hours and continuous GPUs worked out?
- GPU-hours = budget ÷ price per GPU-hour. GPUs that can run continuously = GPU-hours ÷ 720, rounded down, because 720 hours is the month used here (30 days × 24). The part left over after the whole GPUs is $2,410.40 in the $20,000 case at the lowest price.
- Does the price change with the number of GPUs?
- Not in this arithmetic: every figure assumes the per-GPU-hour list price holds at any quantity. Providers may discount, or limit, large orders, and the data does not show it.
- What does the budget leave out?
- Storage, network egress, tax and support. The prices are list prices before tax, so a real bill is higher than the figure shown.
- Can a provider supply that many GPUs at once?
- Not necessarily. A list price says nothing about free capacity. Eight-GPU servers also come whole: the lowest 8-GPU solid listing, Civo, is $27.92 per hour or $20,102.40 for 720 hours, so $5,000 buys 0 whole servers and $50,000 buys 2.
