A100 80GB PCIe cloud GPU pricing
86 listings across 6 providers. Cheapest published rate: $0.190/GPU/hr at SpotGPUs. Sorted by per-GPU hourly price. Every row links to the provider's own published price.
WHAT IS THE A100 80GB PCIE
The PCIe form of the A100 80GB trades the SXM module's NVLink fabric for drop-in compatibility with standard servers. Same memory, same tensor cores, lower power cap. For single-GPU and two-card work it performs identically to the SXM part; for 8-way training the SXM version's NVLink is worth the premium.

WHAT IT IS GOOD AT
Single-card fine-tuning
Identical to the SXM part - 80 GB fits LoRA/QLoRA on 70B-class models.
Inference at scale
Same memory and bandwidth as SXM; PCIe is irrelevant for single-model serving.
OEM server upgrades
The form factor for adding A100-class memory to standard PCIe servers.
WHO SHOULD NOT RENT THE A100 80GB PCIE
8-way training nodes - without SXM NVLink, multi-GPU scaling stalls on PCIe.
Buyers who only need 40-48 GB - an L40S or A100 40GB rents for less.

BUYING A100 80GB PCIE: WHAT THE PANEL SAYS
At the current floor, one A100 80GB PCIe running around the clock costs about $139 a month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic). Per-GPU floors by config size: 1x $0.19 · 2x $3.67 · 4x $3.67. Compare the alternatives below before committing - the same budget often buys more than one chip class.
A100 80GB PCIE VS THE ALTERNATIVES
A100 80GB PCIe vs A100 80GB SXM
Same chip, same 80 GB, slightly lower power cap and bandwidth (1.9 vs 2.0 TB/s). The real difference is NVLink: SXM nodes link eight GPUs at 600 GB/s each; PCIe tops out at bridge-linked pairs. Multi-GPU training belongs on SXM.

A100 80GB PCIE PRICING FAQ
What is the cheapest A100 80GB PCIe cloud GPU right now?
The cheapest published A100 80GB PCIe rate on the panel is $0.190 per GPU-hour at SpotGPUs (A100 PCIe 80GB x 1, Not published). Every price links to the provider's own published rate.
How much does a A100 80GB PCIe cost per hour?
Across 6 providers tracked today, published per-GPU hourly rates for A100 80GB PCIe run from $0.19 to $7.35, with a median of $4.78. Committed-use and reserved rates are excluded; everything shown is on-demand.
How many providers rent A100 80GB PCIe GPUs?
6 providers publish 86 distinct A100 80GB PCIe configurations on Compute Cafe. 84 of those rows were reported in stock by the provider's live endpoint at last observation.
Where is A100 80GB PCIe cheapest?
By published per-GPU hourly rate, the cheapest geography for A100 80GB PCIe today is singapore at $2.10/hr (ACC). The spread across 16 tracked geographies runs to $7.35/hr in brazil.
Are A100 80GB PCIe prices going up or down?
Over the 11 days Compute Cafe has tracked the panel, the A100 80GB PCIe floor is falling: $0.920 to $0.190/GPU/hr (-79.3%). Daily snapshots are public in the repo, so the trend is auditable.
What does a A100 80GB PCIe cost per month?
At the current floor of $0.190/GPU/hr, a A100 80GB PCIe running 24/7 costs about $139 per month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic on the cheapest published rate). Committed-use contracts can price lower; the panel tracks on-demand rates only.
A100 PCIe or SXM - does it matter?
For one or two GPUs, no: compute and memory are effectively identical. For 4-8 GPU training nodes, yes: SXM's NVLink fabric is much faster than PCIe, so multi-GPU jobs scale better on SXM.
