23 canonical GPUs fully fit. 14 of them have a fresh current price. 9 compatible GPUs have no current price.
Formula: MIN(live fresh Amazon-matched board-partner SKU price) WHERE compatibility = FITS_IN_VRAM. Sort: price ASC, advertised VRAM ASC, canonical GPU id ASC. Prices are the lowest fresh Amazon-matched board-partner SKU, not MSRP or a street-price average.
Among 14 canonical GPUs with a fresh matched Amazon offer currently available in RigForAI. Ranked 14. Unpriced compatible: 9. This is not the entire US market — only canonical GPUs with a fresh matched Amazon offer currently in RigForAI.
