The Tesla V100 was the first tensor-core datacenter GPU: 16 GB HBM2 at 900 GB/s, 5,120 CUDA cores, honest FP64. In 2026 it is a bargain for coursework, classic deep-learning models, double-precision simulation and CI — not for modern LLMs.
A server-class card built for sustained 24/7 load: passive cooling in proper chassis, ECC memory, and drivers validated for compute. The sweet spot for inference fleets and fine-tuning jobs that need stability more than headline FLOPS.
NVIDIA Tesla V100 specs: VRAM, TFLOPS, bandwidth
| GPU model | NVIDIA Tesla V100 | Architecture | Volta (2017) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VRAM | 16 GB HBM2 | Memory bandwidth | 900 GB/s |
| FP16 tensor perf. | 125 TFLOPS | FP32 perf. | 14.1 TFLOPS |
| CUDA cores | 5,120 | TDP | 250 W |
| PowerScore (RTX 3090 = 100) | 88 | PCIe generation | Gen 3.0 |
| Multi-GPU | 1× – 8× | Max instance storage | 8,000 GB NVMe |
| Network up to | 10,000 Mbps | CUDA | 12.4 – 13.0 |
Bandwidth, CUDA cores, TDP and FP32 are public NVIDIA figures; FP16 tensor is the dense (non-sparsity) number. Machine-level values come from live inventory.
Tesla V100 price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved
One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the Tesla V100 ($0.13/hr, snapshot 2026-09-03) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $0.089, 30% below market. Interruptible halves it; a 3-month reservation takes another 35% off.
| Mode | Per GPU-hour | Per day (24 h) | Per month (730 h) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.089 | $2.14 | $65 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime |
| Interruptible | $0.044 | $1.06 | $32 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue |
| Reserved (3 months) | $0.057 | $1.37 | $42 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held |
Per GPU: an 8× machine costs exactly 8× — no multi-GPU premium. Estimate a full month with storage and bandwidth in the GPU cost calculator.
What you can run on a Tesla V100 (16 GB VRAM)
With 16 GB of HBM2, a single card holds a ~3B-parameter LLM in FP16 or up to ~24B parameters quantized to 4-bit, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 8× GPUs on one machine for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $0.089.

Tesla V100 vs alternatives: price per TFLOP
| GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla V100 this card | 16 GB | 125 | $0.089 | $0.71‰ |
| Tesla T4 | 16 GB | 65 | $0.104 | $1.60‰ |
| Tesla P100 | 16 GB | 19 | $0.066 | $3.47‰ |
| Tesla P40 | 24 GB | 12 | $0.056 | $4.67‰ |
| Tesla P4 | 8 GB | 6 | $0.018 | $3.00‰ |
‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards.

Renting a Tesla V100: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA Tesla V100 per hour?
$0.089 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $0.13. Interruptible capacity costs $0.044/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.057/hr. Around $65/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second.
What can a Tesla V100 with 16 GB VRAM run?
In LLM terms, roughly a 3B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~24B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 8× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class.
Is the Tesla V100 available to rent right now?
Yes — 127 GPUs across 22 machines in 14 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 8×. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds.
How do I deploy a Tesla V100?
Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by Tesla V100, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu tesla-v100 --template pytorch.
Why is the Tesla V100 cheaper here than on GPU marketplaces?
We price from the public marketplace median and fix our on-demand rate at least 30% below it, rounded down. The price is re-checked weekly (next check 2026-09-10) and published — no auctions, no per-host roulette, no bidding.
