Lots of people seem to think they have no choice but to rent GPUs from cloud service providers. Remember retail GPUs are much more powerful, much cheaper and much more available than cloud GPUs. Just go to the store and buy one.

In the tests I’ve done, retail GPUs are much faster than data center GPUs.
We use the same graphic buses, such as SXM4 and PCI Express 4.0 x 16, as you would find in your system. Theoretically, there should be no difference in performance or compatibility at all. If you have conducted your tests on shared instances and have observed such differences, then it's understandable. However, I want to emphasize once again that we provide dedicated virtual machines, which means that the resources a…

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Acquiring the latest technology, such as an A100 GPU, individually from a store can indeed be quite expensive, with prices around $10,000 per unit. Additionally, setting up and maintaining a home lab to scale from one GPU to thousands can be a significant investment in terms of both cost and resources. In contrast, our platform provides access to the latest GPU technology without…

I'm building a GPU accelerated signal processing web-app, and I'm currently planning to deploy it on a $180 Nvidia Jetson. Performances are a little bit low, but mostly enough to make the app usable.
I tried to find GPU instances for Does anybody know cheaper GPU instances? I don't need much computing power, about 0.5Tflops to 1TFlops

Even so, an A100 is not actually faster than an RTX 4090, right? So basically the reason you would want to use something like this instead is because you need the VRAM?
Our intention is not to discourage anyone from purchasing their own GPUs. We offer our GPU cloud services as an alternative for those who may not have the resources or prefer the convenience and flexibility of renting GPUs on-demand. We apologize if the discussion took a different direction, and we appreciate your understanding.

This is the actual answer. Why rent when you can own. The beefy GPUs of today will still carry their weight years into the future. If you take it even remotely seriously you'll save money and have resale value
Still pretty expensive IMO. I'm building a GPU accelerated signal processing web-app, and I'm currently planning to deploy it on a $180 Nvidia Jetson.

If you're working with Jetson, the RTX 4000 may be more powerful than you need right now, and it's the least expensive we've got. It's worth exploring if there are cloud service providers that offer lower-end GPUs, as that could potentially be a better fit for your requirements and budget.

Lambda Cloud has A100 40GB for $1.10/hr—less than half the price of OP). We also just launched H100s for $2.40/hr. https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud
