The Verdict
The DGX A100 is becoming the value play for teams doing fine-tuning, inference, and mid-scale training — 40/80GB A100s remain highly capable and the price has softened dramatically. The DGX H100 only pays for itself on frontier-scale training where FP8 and NVLink bandwidth translate directly to shorter runs. Sellers of A100 systems should price aggressively; supply is rising every quarter.
