## What fits in VRAM: 141 GB vs 192 GB

| Workload | H200 | B200 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Largest LLM in FP16, one card | ~49B | ~72B |
| Largest LLM at 4-bit, one card | ~141B | ~235B |
| Flux dev (FP8, ~17 GB) | fits | fits |
| Wan 2.x 14B video (offloaded) | yes | yes |
| 70B 4-bit LLM on one card | yes | yes |

Rules of thumb: ~2.4 GB per billion parameters in FP16 all-in, ~0.62 GB in 4-bit. Full tables in the [VRAM guide](https://lowcostgpu.com/guides/llm-vram-requirements).

## Verdict: which should you rent?

The B200 roughly doubles FP16 throughput and bandwidth over the H200 and adds FP4; the H200 stays cheaper per hour with 141 GB. For throughput-critical training and FP4 inference the B200 usually costs less per token; for memory capacity at a lower rate, the H200.

- **Cheaper per hour:** H200 ($3.131 vs $6.475, −52%).
- **More VRAM:** B200 (192 GB vs 141 GB).
- **More FP16 throughput:** B200 (about 2.3×).
- **Best value per TFLOP-hour:** B200.
- **Best value per GB of VRAM:** H200.
- **Multi-GPU:** H200 over PCIe · B200 with NVLink.

**Is the B200 faster than the H200?**

On dense FP16 tensor throughput the B200 leads by about 2.3× (2,250 vs 990 TFLOPS). Memory bandwidth matters as much for inference: H200 4,800 GB/s vs B200 8,000 GB/s.

**Which is cheaper to rent, the H200 or the B200?**

The H200: $3.131/hr on-demand versus $6.475/hr — 52% less. Interruptible rates are $1.565 (H200) and $3.237 (B200). Per TFLOP-hour the better value is the B200.

**Which has more VRAM and what does that change?**

The B200 has 192 GB versus 141 GB. In LLM terms that is roughly a 72B FP16 model (or ~235B in 4-bit) on one card against 49B FP16 (~141B 4-bit). If the model does not fit, speed is irrelevant.

**Can I rent both on LowCostGPU right now?**

Yes — 90 × H200 and 23 × B200 are online as this page renders, deployable in about 30 seconds, billed per second, paid in crypto with no KYC.
