01 Side by side

What is the difference between the H100 SXM and the H100 PCIe?

Every figure is the one we rent against, taken from the same catalogue the dashboard prices from. Per-GPU-hour is the flat monthly price divided by 720 hours; you are never billed by the hour.

02 Verdict

Which should you rent?

Both cards carry 80 GB, so capacity is not what decides this one. Bandwidth is 3.35 TB/s against 2 TB/s, and for single-stream token generation it is bandwidth that sets the speed, not the FLOPS figure on the spec sheet. The H100 SXM costs 13% more per month, $1,690 against $1,490, or $2.35 against $2.07 per GPU-hour.

Rent the H100 SXM when

Multi-week training and fine-tuning runs. A 70B model in FP8 fits on one card; in BF16 it needs two.

Rent the H100 PCIe when

Single-card inference on 70B models in FP8. Same 80 GB as the SXM card, at about 60% of the interconnect bandwidth and half the power.

04 Questions

H100 SXM against H100 PCIe

Is the H100 SXM better than the H100 PCIe?

For anything memory-bound the H100 SXM wins: 80 GB at 3.35 TB/s against 80 GB at 2 TB/s. For work that already fits in 80 GB the H100 PCIe is the better buy, because it costs $1,490 a month against $1,690 and the job finishes either way.

What is the price difference between the H100 SXM and the H100 PCIe?

At GPU Rent Hub the H100 SXM is $1,690 a month and the H100 PCIe is $1,490, a gap of $200. Weekly terms are $475 and $420. Both prices are flat and include power, cooling, a public IPv4 and 20 TB of outbound traffic.

How much VRAM does the H100 SXM have compared to the H100 PCIe?

The H100 SXM has 80 GB of HBM3 and the H100 PCIe has 80 GB of HBM2e. A 70B model in FP8 fits on one card; in BF16 it needs two.

Can I rent either card without KYC?

Yes. Both are rented on the same terms: an account is a username and a password, payment is Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Monero, Solana or Litecoin, and no identity document is requested or stored at any point.

Which one is available today?

Stock moves. As of 2026-09-01 there were 63 H100 SXM and 27 H100 PCIe cards free across DFW-1, IAD-1 and PDX-1. The per-region table above comes from the same inventory the dashboard deploys against.

Can I put several H100 SXM cards in one machine?

Yes. Multi-GPU configurations sit on a single node with NVLink · 900 GB/s between the cards, and ordering two, four or eight takes 5%, 8% or 10% off the per-card price.

Rent either one by the week or the month
