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:

  1. Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
  2. Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
  3. Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
  4. Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
  5. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the RTX 3080 Ti?

12GB GDDR6X with Ampere Tensor Cores. Affordable previous-gen option for local AI work.

When is the RTX 3080 Ti not a good fit?

12GB VRAM is limiting. No FP8. Subject to Nvidia's consumer EULA, which may restrict data center use. The RTX 4070 Ti offers similar VRAM with better efficiency.

Are RTX 3080 Ti prices going up or down?

The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 50% since August 2025, from $0.12 to $0.18/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 RTX 3080 Ti run?

With 12GB of VRAM, the RTX 3080 Ti is best for 7B-class models in 4-bit or 8-bit quantized form, and smaller models in FP16.

How much VRAM does the RTX 3080 Ti have?

The RTX 3080 Ti has 12GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the RTX 3080 Ti's memory bandwidth?

The RTX 3080 Ti has 912 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 Ti support?

The RTX 3080 Ti supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.

Does the RTX 3080 Ti support NVLink?

No. The RTX 3080 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.

How much does the RTX 3080 Ti cost per hour?

RTX 3080 Ti pricing currently ranges from $0.07/hr to $0.92/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the RTX 3080 Ti cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one RTX 3080 Ti can cost between $47.16 to $664.99 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the RTX 3080 Ti?

The RTX 3080 Ti is available from 5 cloud providers, including Vast.ai, Exoscale, Runpod. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.

Can I rent the RTX 3080 Ti in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 25 RTX 3080 Ti listings across 5 cloud providers:

Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr
On-demand 18 $0.25/hr
Spot 7 $0.09/hr
