Questions

## NVIDIA GPUs: frequently asked

Should we rent cloud GPUs or buy our own?

Cloud GPUs suit variable or early-stage workloads. Owning hardware can pay off for steady, high use, but adds power, cooling and maintenance; we model both with your expected usage.

How do we know if our GPUs are underused?

Export GPU metrics with NVIDIA DCGM to Prometheus and track utilisation and memory per workload. Idle capacity then shows up on a dashboard instead of only on the bill.
