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 5880 Ada?

48GB GDDR6 with Ada Lovelace FP8 Tensor Cores. Professional workstation GPU with ECC memory. Good balance of AI and visualization capabilities.

When is the RTX 5880 Ada not a good fit?

Workstation pricing. For pure AI workloads in the cloud, the L40S is more cost-effective with equivalent specs.

Are RTX 5880 Ada prices going up or down?

On-demand pricing has increased by about 48% since January 2026, from $0.41 to $0.60/hr per GPU.

What size AI models can the RTX 5880 Ada run?

With 48GB of VRAM, the RTX 5880 Ada can typically run models up to about 30B parameters in FP16, or 70B-class models in 4-bit quantized form for inference.

How much VRAM does the RTX 5880 Ada have?

The RTX 5880 Ada has 48GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the RTX 5880 Ada's memory bandwidth?

The RTX 5880 Ada 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 5880 Ada support?

The RTX 5880 Ada supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: FP8, INT8.

Does the RTX 5880 Ada support NVLink?

No. The RTX 5880 Ada 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 5880 Ada cost per hour?

RTX 5880 Ada pricing currently ranges from $0.54/hr to $0.60/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the RTX 5880 Ada cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one RTX 5880 Ada can cost between $386.64 to $434.66 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the RTX 5880 Ada?

The RTX 5880 Ada is available from 1 cloud provider: Vast.ai.

Can I rent the RTX 5880 Ada in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 3 RTX 5880 Ada listings across 1 cloud providers:

Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr
On-demand 1 $0.60/hr
Reserved 1 $0.60/hr
Spot 1 $0.54/hr
