### Why bandwidth matters for GPU Instances
21
+
22
+
GPU workloads often involve processing large datasets, requiring high-bandwidth networking and storage access.
23
+
-**Internet bandwidth**: Determines how fast your Instance can send or receive data from external sources, enabling smooth data transfers for model training or streaming.
24
+
-**Block bandwidth**: Impacts data access speeds for datasets stored in Block Storage, optimizing performance for AI pipelines, rendering workflows, and other data-intensive applications.

Bandwidth specifications listed here are for informational purposes only. To validate the exact bandwidth capacity of your GPU Instance, refer to the `block_bandwidth` field in the [Instances API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/instance/#path-instance-types-list-instance-types). Use the endpoint `/instance/v1/zones/{zone}/products/servers` to retrieve GPU Instance specifications.
