"I am in the market for a cloud GPU offering, and I have to say the big cloud providers are very uncompetitive here, only offering these old, slow GPUs. "

It's one thing if one of them is like that, but if all of them are like that, maybe it's not because of the cloud providers?

Oh, there are smaller vendors renting out Pascal architecture GPUs. Yet Amazon and Azure are stuck at prev-gen (M60), while Google is all the way back at prev-prev-gen (K80).

Would you mind specifying these smaller vendors and a few details about your experiences?

I don't want to promote anyone in particular, but there are a few vendors here, for example:
