USA 3 configs 1x-8x
Mid-range workstation GPU for 3D and AI development.
Of 5 listings across 2 cloud providers, 2 are verified in stock. Cheapest of those: on-demand from $0.08 per GPU per hour and spot from $0.07.
Heads up: Prices are estimates from published rates for common setups and vary by region and usage; verify with the provider before provisioning.
20GB GDDR6, professional workstation GPU with Ampere Tensor Cores. Suitable for mid-range AI development and CAD work.
No NVLink. 20GB VRAM is awkward — neither enough for large models nor cheap enough for budget deployments. For cloud inference, the L4 or A10 is usually a better fit.
Cheapest verified in stock: $59 per month on-demand, $50 spot.
The A4500 is listed by 2 providers. Cheapest verified in stock: Vast.ai.
The A4500 supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.
No. Multi-GPU setups communicate over PCIe.
One A4500 has 20 GB GDDR6. The table shows the smallest A4500 node that fits each model, assuming moderate context, and what that node costs at the cheapest in-stock on-demand rate for one A4500, $0.08 per hour.
| Model | 4-bit | 8-bit | BF16 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1x (16 GB), from $0.08/hr | Over 1x (32 GB) | Over 1x (65 GB) | |
| 1x (18 GB), from $0.08/hr | Over 1x (37 GB) | Over 1x (74 GB) | |
| Over 1x (42 GB) | Over 1x (84 GB) | Over 1x (168 GB) | |
| Over 1x (70 GB) | Over 1x (140 GB) | Over 1x (281 GB) | |
| Over 1x (141 GB) | Over 1x (282 GB) | Over 1x (564 GB) | |
| Over 1x (452 GB) | Over 1x (904 GB) | Over 1x (1,807 GB) |
Estimated memory required is parameters × bytes per weight at each precision, plus 20% for KV cache and runtime overhead. Anything larger than 1x needs more than one node.
