## Full specification

GPU NVIDIA A100 PCIe Ampere architecture, PCIe add-in card.

Memory 40 GB HBM2 1,555 GB/s of bandwidth — the number that predicts generation speed, far better than any teraflop figure.

Interconnect PCIe 5.0 ×16 Peer-to-peer over PCIe. Fine for one model per card and for pipeline parallelism; slower than NVLink for tensor parallelism. [Which one your job needs](https://gpuserver.io/guides/nvlink-vs-pcie).

Node sizes 1 × card, 2 × card, 4 × card, 8 × card PCIe cards go up to eight in a standard chassis, and ten only on low-power cards.

Storage 2 × 2 TB NVMe Handed over raw beyond the system volume — we impose no RAID level. More NVMe and archive HDD are monthly options.

Network 1 Gbit/s, unmetered Both directions, no included volume and no overage at any traffic level. One IPv4, a routed IPv6 /64, DDoS filtering on from delivery.

## What runs on an A100 PCIe

Every model below fits on a *single* card at 8k context — no sharding, no interconnect to think about. The precision shown is the best one that fits; the arithmetic is in the [VRAM sizing guide](https://gpuserver.io/guides/vram-sizing), so you can check it.

**Language models that fit on a single A100 PCIe at 8k context**

| Model | Best precision that fits | Memory needed | Estimated tokens/s |
|---|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.1 8B 8B parameters | BF16 / FP16Reference quality | 20 GBof 40 GB | ~44 |
| Qwen 3 32B 32B parameters | FP8Near-reference, Hopper and Blackwell | 38 GBof 40 GB | ~22 |
| Mistral Small 24B 24B parameters | FP8Near-reference, Hopper and Blackwell | 28 GBof 40 GB | ~29 |
| Gemma 3 27B 27B parameters | FP8Near-reference, Hopper and Blackwell | 33 GBof 40 GB | ~26 |
| Phi-4 14B 14B parameters | BF16 / FP16Reference quality | 34 GBof 40 GB | ~25 |

On the 8-card node the same models are held across 320 GB in total, which changes what is possible entirely — up to Llama 3.1 405B. Sharding costs synchronisation at every layer, so a model that fits on one card should stay on one card.

## Throughput to expect

Generation is bounded by memory bandwidth: each token requires re-reading the active weights. At 1,555 GB/s, that sets a ceiling no amount of tuning gets past.

**Our figures are a floor, not a promise.** The estimates on this page are calibrated against published measurements and are deliberately conservative — they model single-stream generation. With continuous batching under vLLM the *aggregate* across concurrent requests is several times higher. If a number here looks low against a benchmark you have seen, that is usually the difference.

## Compared with nearby cards

The three cards closest to this one in price. Memory decides what loads; bandwidth decides how fast it answers.

## A100 PCIe server questions

How much does an A100 PCIe server cost per month?

A single-card A100 PCIe server is $392 a month, with everything included: 128 GB of system RAM, 2 × 2 TB NVMe, unmetered 1 Gbit/s, one IPv4 address and a routed IPv6 /64. There is no setup fee and no bandwidth charge. Multi-GPU nodes run from $802 for 2 cards up to $2,983 for 8.

How much VRAM does the A100 PCIe have, and what fits in it?

40 GB of HBM2 per card, at 1,555 GB/s. The largest model it holds on one card at 8k context is Qwen 3 32B (FP8). A 8-card node has 320 GB in total, enough for Llama 3.1 405B.

Is the A100 PCIe dedicated, or shared with other customers?

Dedicated. The card is passed through to a single physical machine that only you have an account on — no MIG partitioning, no vGPU layer and no other tenant on the same silicon. On a multi-GPU node you get the whole node, including the PCIe 5.0 ×16 fabric between the cards.

Do I need to verify my identity to rent an A100 PCIe?

No. There is no document upload, no selfie, no phone number and no company registration, at any level of spend — an eight-card node opens on exactly the same terms as the cheapest single card. Opening an account takes an email address, a password and a billing address, and none of it is verified.

How do I pay, and how quickly is the server delivered?

In cryptocurrency only: Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum (ERC-20), Tether (ERC-20) and others. Each invoice gets its own address, the amount is fixed at the rate shown when it is issued, and the machine is provisioned on the first confirmation — root access in under 5 minutes, at any hour.

Can I rent an A100 PCIe by the hour instead?

Not here. Every price on this site is a monthly price, with no meter and no per-second billing. Against a typical $2.99/hour cloud, a monthly term is cheaper past roughly 132 hours of the machine simply existing — about 5 days out of thirty.

## An A100 PCIe of your own, from $392 a month.

Racked, burned in and waiting in all 6 data centres. Pay in crypto and it is yours in under 5 minutes.
