How much does 1,000 GPU-hours cost on the B200 vs the RTX 4090?

At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $5,095 on the B200 and $336 on the RTX 4090 — a difference of $4,759 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.

How this comparison is calculated

Every price is normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using the same pipeline as every other pricing surface on Aquanode, and only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown. A dash means that provider does not currently list that GPU.

Architecture, compute capability and supported precisions come from each vendor's published datasheet for that generation — not from the marketplace feed. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
