B200 brings Blackwell compute to demanding training and inference workloads. Compare complete server configurations, including usable memory and interconnect, before selecting a GPU count.
Blackwell
Exact GPU variant, CPU, RAM and interconnect depend on the confirmed instance. Memory values are hardware references, not allocated resources.
Manufacturer specifications ↗Public reference / GPU-hour. Arvica sell price, taxes and additional services require an approved quote.
Reference price source ↗Choose on-demand or reserved compute. Location, start time and access environment are confirmed before provisioning.
| Published source | GPU variant | Reference / GPU-hour | Price basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyperstack ↗ | B200 · 192 GB | A$ 8.31 | on-demand |
| Runpod ↗ | B200 · 180 GB | A$ 9.41 | secure-pod |
| Lambda ↗ | B200 SXM6 · 180 GB | A$ 9.68 | single-instance |
Published reference rates do not establish live availability or identical instance specifications. Your Arvica quote confirms the complete configuration and charges.
Evaluate B200 for workloads with a Blackwell-compatible software stack and a clear need for low-precision acceleration. Measure quality as well as throughput when changing precision.
Compare B300 when memory headroom is the limiting factor. Compare H200 when keeping the existing Hopper runtime reduces migration effort and meets your service targets.
Published platform configurations list different B200 memory capacities. The catalogue range is 180–192 GB HBM3e; the accepted instance specification determines your allocation.
Blackwell platforms can use fifth-generation NVLink. A GPU model name alone does not establish the number of linked GPUs, host CPU, network bandwidth or dedicated tenancy.
Use framework builds and CUDA extensions explicitly supporting Blackwell. Confirm container architecture and driver requirements before migrating an existing image.
NVIDIA hardware reference ↗ · Selection guidance is Arvica's assessment; validate it against your workload
Specify the OS, framework and container image version. Arvica confirms the driver and GPU compatibility before activation. A template name is not a software licence or a guaranteed preinstalled image.
Save an SSH public key during configuration. Keep the private key on your own device. The verified deployment record provides the actual host and login user once access is ready.
Separate boot disk, datasets, model weights and checkpoints in your capacity plan. Confirm persistence, backup ownership, attachment rules and deletion behaviour before relying on a volume.
Confirm ingress, egress, public IP access and private networking where required. For regulated or location-sensitive data, specify the required region in advanced settings before submitting.
Once Arvica supplies verified access, connect using your private key and the exact host/user shown in your instance. Then inspect the allocated GPUs and topology.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/your_key USER@HOST nvidia-smi nvidia-smi topo -m
Replace USER and HOST with your own deployment details. These commands inspect an existing machine; they do not provision one.
Parameter count × bytes per weight estimates weights only. Add KV cache, activations, temporary tensors and framework overhead. Training additionally needs gradients and optimiser state.
Record model version, precision, input/output length, concurrency, latency and error rate together. Compare the cost of a completed job or successful request under the same conditions.
Include all allocated GPUs, runtime, storage, networking, taxes and support. Monthly projections use 730 hours for comparison; your contract defines the billable period and minimum term.
Define your GPU allocation, interconnect, storage, location and commitment. Arvica prepares a capacity proposal around the workload.
Request capacity ↗Model fit and throughput depend on precision, software, batch size, context and system topology. Compare workload estimates rather than an unsupported tokens-per-second promise.

Do not assume so. Resource allocation, storage and reserved commitments may continue billing. Check the contract and request the appropriate lifecycle action through support.
Retention depends on the agreed storage configuration. Export data and confirm backup and volume retention before requesting termination.
