Pricing & availability
How this list works
The two views
By provider shows one card per company, placed where its best offer ranked. By configuration lists every offer.
Order
What you can rent comes first: in stock, then waitlist, then not reported, then out of stock. Priced offers rank ahead of quote-only, and on-demand ahead of other billing types.
Within a group, five factors set the order:
- Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
- Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
- Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
- Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
- Provider diversity: a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.
Search
We match the provider, its country, GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.
Transparency and funding
- Ads and sponsors: Paid placements sit at the top of the list and are always labeled as sponsored content. Sponsorship never influences the organic ranking itself.
- Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.
- Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
What can the RTX 5090 run?
One RTX 5090 has 32 GB of VRAM. In practice, that's enough memory for roughly 41B parameters at 4-bit or 9B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Below are some open-weight LLMs, with the estimated memory and GPUs each one needs.

Estimates based on the median on-demand rate. Memory is weights plus FP8 KV cache at 32K context per request (FP16/BF16 in the 16-bit column). GPU counts assume 90% of advertised VRAM is usable. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. How we estimate costs.

No median for spot: we only show this when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. 1 provider also quotes the RTX 5090 on a custom contract, priced per deal.
Who has the cheapest RTX 5090?
How much does the RTX 5090 cost per month?
-
At 720 hours per month, one RTX 5090 costs an estimated $518 at the median on-demand price. Cheapest verified in stock: $252 per month on-demand, $151 reserved (1 mo), $180 spot.
Where can I rent an RTX 5090?
-
GetDeploying currently tracks RTX 5090 configs from 19 providers. The cheapest verified in-stock on-demand configs come from HyperAI, Salad, Nova Cloud and Theta EdgeCloud. See the full price comparison above for every provider and config.
How many RTX 5090 GPUs do I need?
-
One RTX 5090 runs models up to roughly 41B parameters at 4-bit quantization or 9B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Larger models run across multiple GPUs: the model table above shows the estimated memory and GPU count for popular open-weight LLMs.
Why choose the RTX 5090?
-
32GB GDDR7 with Blackwell FP4 Tensor Cores. Highest consumer GPU performance available. Strong for local AI development, LoRA fine-tuning, and image generation.
When is the RTX 5090 not a good fit?
-
Consumer GeForce GPU. No ECC memory. Subject to Nvidia's consumer EULA, which may restrict data center use. For production workloads, consider the L40S or RTX 6000 Ada.
