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 5080?
16GB GDDR7 with FP4 Tensor Cores. Good performance-per-dollar for local AI experimentation and gaming-turned-compute use cases.
When is the RTX 5080 not a good fit?
16GB VRAM limits model sizes. No ECC. Subject to Nvidia's consumer EULA, which may restrict data center use. For cloud deployments, use data center GPUs.
Are RTX 5080 prices going up or down?
On-demand pricing has increased by about 233% since July 2025, from $0.22 to $0.73/hr per GPU.
What size AI models can the RTX 5080 run?
With 16GB of VRAM, the RTX 5080 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 5080 have?
The RTX 5080 has 16GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
What is the RTX 5080's memory bandwidth?
The RTX 5080 has 960 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
What data types does the RTX 5080 support?
The RTX 5080 supports 7 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: FP4, FP8, INT8.
Does the RTX 5080 support NVLink?
No. The RTX 5080 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 5080 cost per hour?
RTX 5080 pricing currently ranges from $0.20/hr to $1.34/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
How much does the RTX 5080 cost per month?
At 720 hours per month, one RTX 5080 can cost between $146.88 to $963.72 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
Which cloud providers offer the RTX 5080?
The RTX 5080 is available from 5 cloud providers, including Runpod, Salad, SwissGPU. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.
Can I rent the RTX 5080 in the cloud?
