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 4090?

24GB GDDR6X with Ada Lovelace FP8 Tensor Cores. Highest-performing consumer GPU of the Ada generation. Can run 13B parameter models at FP16 or 30B+ quantized. Popular for AI research and Stable Diffusion.

When is the RTX 4090 not a good fit?

Consumer GeForce GPU. No ECC memory. 24GB VRAM is limiting for larger LLMs. Subject to Nvidia's consumer EULA, which may restrict data center use. For production inference, consider the L40S.

Are RTX 4090 prices going up or down?

On-demand pricing has increased by about 56% since June 2025, from $0.62 to $0.96/hr per GPU.

What size AI models can the RTX 4090 run?

With 24GB of VRAM, the RTX 4090 can typically run 7B to 13B models in FP16, or larger models in 4-bit quantized form.

How much VRAM does the RTX 4090 have?

The RTX 4090 has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the RTX 4090's memory bandwidth?

The RTX 4090 has 1,010 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the RTX 4090 support?

The RTX 4090 supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: FP8, INT8.

Does the RTX 4090 support NVLink?

No. The RTX 4090 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 4090 cost per hour?

RTX 4090 pricing currently ranges from $0.18/hr to $1.61/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the RTX 4090 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one RTX 4090 can cost between $132.48 to $1,159.20 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the RTX 4090?

The RTX 4090 is available from 14 cloud providers, including Zenlayer, Beam, BreezeHost. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.

Can I rent the RTX 4090 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 235 RTX 4090 listings across 14 cloud providers:

Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr
On-demand 110 $0.79/hr
Reserved 44 $0.77/hr
