Top Ampere consumer GPU for local AI research and rendering.
Barriers to entry are low here. 3 cloud providers list the RTX 3090 Ti with prices starting at just $0.10/hr per GPU (on-demand), making it accessible for testing without a large commitment.
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.
24GB GDDR6X with Ampere Tensor Cores. Strong consumer GPU for AI research. Can handle 13B models at FP16.
Previous generation without FP8 support. High power draw (450W). Subject to Nvidia's consumer EULA, which may restrict data center use. The RTX 4090 offers better efficiency.
The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 9% since August 2025, from $0.17 to $0.19/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 24GB of VRAM, the RTX 3090 Ti can typically run 7B to 13B models in FP16, or larger models in 4-bit quantized form.
The RTX 3090 Ti has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
The RTX 3090 Ti has 1,008 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
The RTX 3090 Ti supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.
No. The RTX 3090 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.
RTX 3090 Ti pricing currently ranges from $0.10/hr to $0.27/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
At 720 hours per month, one RTX 3090 Ti can cost between $72.00 to $194.40 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
The RTX 3090 Ti is available from 3 cloud providers: Runpod, Salad, Vast.ai.
