Default ranking

Our algorithm weighs five factors to find the most relevant matches for you:

  1. Price: We blend total hourly price with price-per-GPU to balance affordability and value.
  2. Specs: We favor offers with higher CPU, RAM, and GPU Memory.
  3. Billing: We favor on-demand billing for simplicity and flexibility over spot instances, reservations, and custom quotes.
  4. Location: We blend both datacenter proximity and provider HQ location. Datacenter location matters for latency, while HQ location matters for compliance and support.
  5. Provider diversity: Each time a provider appears in the list, their subsequent offerings are ranked a little lower, so one provider's offerings don't crowd out the top positions.

Sorting and filtering

Click any column header to sort by that column. Use the filters above the table to narrow results by billing type, GPU count, vCPUs, or RAM. Custom sorting resets the default relevance ranking.

Transparency and funding

Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are fixed at the top and clearly labeled as sponsored content.

Affiliates: Any affiliate links will be indicated to you as well. We may earn a commission if you click them, but this never influences the ranking order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the RTX 3070?

8GB GDDR6 with Ampere Tensor Cores. Low-cost entry point for learning GPU computing and basic inference.

When is the RTX 3070 not a good fit?

8GB VRAM is insufficient for most AI models at FP16. Better suited for learning and prototyping than production use.

Are RTX 3070 prices going up or down?

On-demand pricing has decreased by about 54% since June 2025, dropping from $0.65 to $0.30/hr per GPU.

What size AI models can the RTX 3070 run?

With 8GB of VRAM, the RTX 3070 is mainly limited to small quantized models and lightweight GPU workloads.

How much VRAM does the RTX 3070 have?

The RTX 3070 has 8GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the RTX 3070's memory bandwidth?

The RTX 3070 has 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the RTX 3070 support?

Does the RTX 3070 support NVLink?

No. The RTX 3070 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 RTX 3070 cost per hour?

RTX 3070 pricing currently ranges from $0.06/hr to $1.14/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the RTX 3070 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one RTX 3070 can cost between $46.08 to $820.80 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the RTX 3070?

The RTX 3070 is available from 4 cloud providers, including Salad, Scaleway, Theta EdgeCloud. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.
