How we sort results
Default ranking
Our algorithm weighs five factors to find the most relevant matches for you:
- Price: We blend total hourly price with price-per-GPU to balance affordability and value.
- Specs: We favor offers with higher CPU, RAM, and GPU Memory.
- Billing: We favor on-demand billing for simplicity and flexibility over spot instances, reservations, and custom quotes.
- Location: We blend both datacenter proximity and provider HQ location. Datacenter location matters for latency, while HQ location matters for compliance and support.
- 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 3080?
10GB or 12GB GDDR6X with Ampere Tensor Cores. Budget option for local AI experimentation.
When is the RTX 3080 not a good fit?
10-12GB VRAM limits model sizes. No FP8. Subject to Nvidia's consumer EULA, which may restrict data center use.
Are RTX 3080 prices going up or down?
On-demand pricing has increased by about 163% since July 2025, from $0.11 to $0.29/hr per GPU.
What size AI models can the RTX 3080 run?
With 10GB of VRAM, the RTX 3080 is mainly limited to small quantized models and lightweight GPU workloads.
How much VRAM does the RTX 3080 have?
The RTX 3080 has 10GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
What is the RTX 3080's memory bandwidth?
The RTX 3080 has 760 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
What data types does the RTX 3080 support?
The RTX 3080 supports 5 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT8.
Does the RTX 3080 support NVLink?
No. The RTX 3080 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 3080 cost per hour?
RTX 3080 pricing currently ranges from $0.07/hr to $0.24/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
