24GB GDDR5 at very low cost. Legacy option for workloads that need more VRAM than the P4 . Some availability from budget cloud providers.

When is the P40 not a good fit?

Pascal architecture with no mixed precision support. GDDR5 bandwidth is very low. Only viable for legacy batch inference where VRAM matters more than speed.

Are P40 prices going up or down?

The median on-demand price across providers has fallen about 95% since August 2025, from $2.07 to $0.11/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.

What size AI models can the P40 run?

With 24GB of VRAM, the P40 can typically run 7B to 13B models in FP16, or larger models in 4-bit quantized form.

How much VRAM does the P40 have?

The P40 has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the P40's memory bandwidth?

The P40 has 346 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the P40 support?

The P40 supports 3 precision formats. Training: FP16, FP32. Inference: INT8.

Does the P40 support NVLink?

No. The P40 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.

How much does the P40 cost per hour?

P40 pricing currently ranges from $0.07/hr to $0.11/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the P40 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one P40 can cost between $48.67 to $77.47 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the P40?

The P40 is available from 1 cloud provider: Vast.ai.

Can I rent the P40 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 2 P40 listings across 1 cloud providers: Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr On-demand 1 $0.11/hr Spot 1 $0.07/hr

How this list works

The two views

By provider shows one card per company, placed where its best offer ranked. By configuration lists every offer.

Order

What you can rent comes first: in stock, then waitlist, then not reported, then out of stock. Priced offers rank ahead of quote-only, and on-demand ahead of other billing types.

Within a group, five factors set the order:

Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
Provider diversity: a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.

Search

We match the provider, its country, GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.

Transparency and funding

Ads and sponsors: Paid placements sit at the top of the list and are always labeled as sponsored content. Sponsorship never influences the organic ranking itself.
Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.
Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.
