Legacy Pascal consumer GPU for basic CUDA development.
For smaller projects, the GTX 1080 Ti is available around $0.04/hr per GPU (on-demand). This tier offers a 24% discount compared to the higher end of the market ($0.06/hr). Spot instances start lower, at $0.04/hr per GPU.
Heads up: We do our best to keep these specs & prices accurate. However, cloud costs may fluctuate based on region, usage, and other factors not listed here. These are estimates based on common setups and are for informational purposes only. Always verify current rates & exact specs with the provider before provisioning.
11GB GDDR5X. Strong Pascal consumer GPU. Very low cost. Adequate for basic CUDA development and legacy workloads.
No Tensor Cores. FP16 is emulated, not hardware-accelerated. Only viable for legacy CUDA applications or basic cloud rendering workloads.
The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 4% since August 2025, from $0.05 to $0.05/hr per GPU. This reflects the market-wide median, which moves both when providers change prices and when lower or higher priced offerings enter the market.
With 11GB of VRAM, the GTX 1080 Ti is mainly limited to small quantized models and lightweight GPU workloads.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 11GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 484 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
The GTX 1080 Ti supports 2 precision formats. Training: FP16, FP32.
No. The GTX 1080 Ti is a PCIe-only GPU with no NVLink, so it is better suited to single-GPU inference and smaller-scale workloads than large distributed training jobs.
GTX 1080 Ti pricing currently ranges from $0.04/hr to $0.06/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
At 720 hours per month, one GTX 1080 Ti can cost between $28.51 to $42.08 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
The GTX 1080 Ti is available from 2 cloud providers: Vast.ai, Salad.
