GPU

Linode’s GPU instances run on NVIDIA hardware, specifically the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition and the Quadro RTX line. These machines handle compute-heavy tasks like model training, inference, or rendering that require dedicated graphics processing rather than standard CPU cores. The infrastructure supports these workloads through a straightforward pay-as-you-go billing structure.

This setup suits teams needing immediate access to high-end NVIDIA cards without long-term commitments. The main catch is the complete absence of a free tier, meaning every instance incurs costs from the moment it launches. You pay for the exact duration the GPU is active, which demands careful shutdown practices to prevent unnecessary spending on idle resources.
