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 3090 Ti?
24GB GDDR6X with Ampere Tensor Cores. Strong consumer GPU for AI research. Can handle 13B models at FP16.
When is the RTX 3090 Ti not a good fit?
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.
Are RTX 3090 Ti prices going up or down?
On-demand pricing has increased by about 72% since July 2025, from $0.15 to $0.26/hr per GPU.
What size AI models can the RTX 3090 Ti run?
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.
How much VRAM does the RTX 3090 Ti have?
The RTX 3090 Ti has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
What is the RTX 3090 Ti's memory bandwidth?
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.
What data types does the RTX 3090 Ti support?
The RTX 3090 Ti supports 5 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT8.
Does the RTX 3090 Ti support NVLink?
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.
How much does the RTX 3090 Ti cost per hour?
RTX 3090 Ti pricing currently ranges from $0.12/hr to $0.31/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
How much does the RTX 3090 Ti cost per month?
At 720 hours per month, one RTX 3090 Ti can cost between $89.28 to $222.41 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
Which cloud providers offer the RTX 3090 Ti?
The RTX 3090 Ti is available from 3 cloud providers: Runpod, Salad, Vast.ai.
