Newer cards
H100 vs H200, B200 and B300: price and memory
Answer in brief
The H200, B200 and B300 are the newer cards, with 141, 180 and 288 GB of memory against the H100’s 80 GB, at higher prices per hour.
Runcrate is our pick for choosing between them: the H100, the H200 and the B300 sit on one list, billed by the second on most GPUs, so you can test on two and pay for minutes.
Four cards, four memory sizes
The H100 has 80 GB of memory. The H200, from the same Hopper generation, has 141 GB. The B200 is the Blackwell card with 180 GB. The B300 is the Blackwell Ultra card with 288 GB.
Memory also moves faster on the newer cards. The H100’s memory bandwidth is 3.35 TB per second. The H200’s is 4.8, and the two Blackwell cards reach 8.
Four prices, read on one day
On 12 Nov 2026, the median listed on-demand price per GPU-hour was $3.90 for the H100, $5.40 for the H200, $8.34 for the B200 and $9.25 for the B300.
The lowest listed were $1.99, $3.49, $3.50 and $6.60 in the same order. Each card has its own table on this site.
Compare totals, not cards
The fair comparison is the hardware a job needs. A model that needs 130 GB takes two H100s or one H200. A model that needs 170 GB takes three H100s or one B200. A model that needs 280 GB takes four H100s or one B300.
Multiply the H100 price by the number of cards and set it against one newer card. Splitting a model across cards also adds overhead, so equal totals favor the single card.
When the H100 still wins
It wins when the model fits in 80 GB with a margin. Then the extra memory of a newer card sits empty, and the lower hourly price is a real saving.
It also wins on choice. More providers list it, in more machine sizes, so finding one you can start is easier.
When to move up
Move up when you are renting H100s in pairs to hold one model, when context length keeps running out of memory, or when a new project is being sized from scratch. New work in 2026 is better planned around the newer cards.
