What is GPU-hour?
A GPU-hour is one GPU used for one hour. GPU rental prices are quoted per GPU-hour, so a job's cost is the number of GPUs multiplied by the hours they run and the hourly price.
Why it matters when renting a GPU
Comparing per GPU-hour normalizes offers with different GPU counts per machine.
Count setup time, model downloads and idle time: they consume GPU-hours too.
Worked example
A fine-tuning run on 8 GPUs for 3 hours uses 8 × 3 = 24 GPU-hours. At an illustrative 2 currency units per GPU-hour (not an EverXCloud offer), the compute subtotal is 48 units before tax.
Frequently asked questions
- Are EverXCloud prices per GPU or per machine?
- EverXCloud shows prices per GPU-hour, excluding tax. Check the GPU count of each configuration for the machine total.
