Memory
Memory, bandwidth and price per GB
VRAM is the catalogued size. Bandwidth and the maker's memory figure come from the maker's spec page, linked on each row. Nothing stated as missing is filled in.
| GPU | Variant | Memory, maker table | Type | Bandwidth | Lowest price per TB/s-hour | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H200 | SXM | 141 GB | HBM3e | 4.8 TB/s | $0.73 | page |
| H200 | NVL | 141 GB | HBM3e | 4.8 TB/s | $0.73 | page |
| H100 | SXM | 80 GB | not stated | 3.35 TB/s | $0.59 | page |
| H100 | NVL | 94 GB | HBM3 | 3.9 TB/s | $0.51 | page |
H200 · 141 GB catalogued
$0.0248
per GB-hour at the lowest price: $3.49 ÷ 141 GB
At the median: $0.0383 ($5.40 ÷ 141 GB)
H100 · 80 GB catalogued
$0.0249
per GB-hour at the lowest price: $1.99 ÷ 80 GB
At the median: $0.0488 ($3.90 ÷ 80 GB)
Price per GB-hour is a derivation: the price per GPU-hour divided by catalogued memory. It says nothing about speed, and memory is not the only reason to pick a card. The H200 carries 1.76 times the memory of the H100.
Fit check
Three model sizes against each card
Weights only: parameters times bytes per parameter. No KV cache, activations or framework overhead. The full table is on the memory page.
| Scenario | Weights | H200s needed | H100s needed | H200 per hour | H100 per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70B model at FP16 | 140 GB | 1 | 2 | $3.49 | $3.98 |
| 70B model at FP8 | 70 GB | 1 | 1 | $3.49 | $1.99 |
| 405B model at FP8 | 405 GB | 3 | 6 | $10.47 | $11.94 |
GPUs needed = weights ÷ catalogued VRAM, rounded up. Cost = GPUs needed × the lowest solid price per GPU-hour ($3.49 for the H200, $1.99 for the H100). Real deployments need headroom and servers come in fixed sizes.

Questions
H200 and H100, answered
- Is an H200 more expensive than an H100?
- By the lowest solid price, the H200 is 75% above the H100 ($3.49 at Civo against $1.99 at Voltage Park). By the median of each provider's lowest, $5.40 against $3.90, the H200 is 38% above.
- Which costs less per GB of memory?
- At the lowest listed price the H200 is $0.0248 per GB-hour ($3.49 ÷ 141 GB) and the H100 is $0.0249 ($1.99 ÷ 80 GB). At the medians, $0.0383 against $0.0488. VRAM is the catalogued size of each card.
- Which providers list both?
- 15 of them: Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, DigitalOcean (Paperspace), CoreWeave, Crusoe, Amazon Web Services, Civo, Nebius, Verda, Runcrate, Massed Compute, Together AI, Hyperstack, RunPod, and OVHcloud. At 13 of them the H200 costs more than the H100; the gap runs from -4% to +107%.
- Does the H200 need fewer GPUs for the same model?
- For weights only, a 70B model at FP16 is 140 GB: 1 H200 against 2 H100s. At the lowest solid prices that is $3.49 against $3.98 per hour. This ignores the KV cache, activations and framework overhead.
- Where do the memory and bandwidth figures come from?
- Memory size is the catalogued VRAM. Bandwidth is from the maker's own spec pages, linked in the table above (www.nvidia.com). A figure the maker does not state stays "not stated" and gets no derived price.

H200 Price Ledger is published by the Runcrate team, who also run Runcrate, an AI cloud. Runcrate is listed in the table for H200, marked "ours, live". It is sorted by price like every other row, with no pinned position. Other providers' prices are read from their own public pricing pages. We have no paid placement.
