Frequently asked questions

What is H100 PCIe 80GB used for?

H100 PCIe 80GB is a datacenter accelerator from NVIDIA with 80 GB of VRAM and 2,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth, typically around $2/hr on cloud rental. It is aimed at production LLM serving.

Which models fit on a single H100 PCIe 80GB?

28 models in the tokcalc catalog fit on one H100 PCIe 80GB, up to GPT-OSS 120B (MoE) (117B params) at awq4. Below that, throughput and cost per million tokens improve as the model gets smaller.

How fast is Llama 3.3 70B on H100 PCIe 80GB?

At fp8 with 8 concurrent users, 2× H100 PCIe 80GB serves 1127 tokens/sec aggregate (46.95 tok/s per stream), with a 1.58 s time to first token. That works out to $0.9860 per 1M output tokens.

How much does H100 PCIe 80GB cost per hour?

Around $2/hr for on-demand cloud rental (a typical 2025–2026 estimate across RunPod, Lambda, Modal, AWS, GCP and similar providers). Actual pricing varies by region, commitment, and spot availability — the Build vs Buy tab in the calculator pulls live quotes from several providers.

How does H100 PCIe 80GB compare to other accelerators?

Memory bandwidth drives decode speed and VRAM drives capacity. H100 PCIe 80GB has 2,000 GB/s of bandwidth and 80 GB of VRAM, plus 756 TFLOPS of dense FP16/BF16 compute. The comparison table on this page ranks every accelerator in the catalog on the same reference workload so you can see where it lands.
