H100 SXM vs MI300X: specs, price and which to rent
GPU Rent Hub rents both cards as dedicated bare metal in three United States datacenters, paid in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Monero, Solana or Litecoin with no identity verification. The H100 SXM is $1,690 a month and the MI300X is $1,590 a month. Everything below is measured, not argued.
What is the difference between the H100 SXM and the MI300X?
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.

Which should you rent?
The cheaper MI300X carries 112 GB more memory, so on capacity alone it is the better card. Bandwidth is 3.35 TB/s against 5.3 TB/s, and for single-stream token generation it is bandwidth that sets the speed, not the FLOPS figure on the spec sheet. Only the H100 SXM has NVLink, so multi-card training scales on it and struggles on the MI300X. The H100 SXM costs 6% more per month, $1,690 against $1,590, or $2.35 against $2.21 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.
$1,690/mo · $475/wk · specifications and stock
Rent the MI300X when
Serving very large models on the fewest cards. The most HBM per card we rent: a 70B model in BF16 fits with 50 GB to spare.
$1,590/mo · $450/wk · specifications and stock
Where each card is in stock
A dash means the card is on the waitlist in that region. The price is identical in all three, so choose on latency and stock, nothing else.
