T4 vs V100: Specs, VRAM & Price
Short answer: choose the V100 when 32 GB of VRAM is the gating requirement. Choose the T4 when 16 GB is enough for the workload and availability points that way.
The T4 has 16 GB of VRAM; the V100 has 32 GB.
You can rent both by the hour, no purchase required. T4 from $0.162/GPU/hr; V100 from $0.110/GPU/hr. The V100 is 32% cheaper at the entry rate.

T4 vs V100: common questions
Is the T4 or the V100 better for AI?
Short answer: choose the V100 when 32 GB of VRAM is the gating requirement. Choose the T4 when 16 GB is enough for the workload and availability points that way.
Is the T4 or the V100 cheaper to rent?
On Aquanode's live marketplace the T4 starts at $0.162/GPU/hr (median $0.162/GPU/hr) and the V100 starts at $0.110/GPU/hr (median $0.220/GPU/hr). The V100 is the cheaper of the two at the entry rate, by 32%.
What is the difference between the T4 and the V100?
The T4 has 16 GB of VRAM against the V100's 32 GB; the T4 is a Turing part and the V100 is Volta (compute capability 7.5 vs 7.0); only the T4 supports INT4 compute. On price, the T4 lists from $0.162/GPU/hr and the V100 from $0.110/GPU/hr.
How widely available are the T4 and the V100?
The T4 is listed in 1 region and the V100 in 2 regions right now.
How much does 1,000 GPU-hours cost on the T4 vs the V100?
At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $162 on the T4 and $110 on the V100, a difference of $52 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.
How much VRAM does the T4 have compared to the V100?
The T4 has 16 GB of VRAM; the V100 has 32 GB.
Does the T4 or the V100 support NVLink?
The V100 supports NVLink, 300 GB/s (SXM2 only); the T4 has no dedicated GPU-to-GPU interconnect.
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.
Memory bandwidth, tensor TFLOPS, NVLink/interconnect and max board power are the same verified-from-datasheet figures shown on each model's own T4 page and V100 page, which link the primary vendor source for that model. A dash here means Aquanode hasn't verified that figure from a primary source yet, never a guess.
