RTX 3070 vs RTX 4070 Ti: common questions

Is the RTX 3070 or the RTX 4070 Ti cheaper to rent?

On Aquanode's live marketplace the RTX 3070 starts at $0.050/GPU/hr (median $0.130/GPU/hr across 2 providers) and the RTX 4070 Ti starts at $0.190/GPU/hr (median $0.190/GPU/hr across 1 provider). The RTX 3070 is the cheaper of the two at the entry rate, by 74%.

What is the difference between the RTX 3070 and the RTX 4070 Ti?

The RTX 3070 has 8 GB of VRAM against the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB; the RTX 3070 is an Ampere part and the RTX 4070 Ti is Ada Lovelace (compute capability 8.6 vs 8.9); only the RTX 4070 Ti supports FP8 compute. On price, the RTX 3070 lists from $0.050/GPU/hr and the RTX 4070 Ti from $0.190/GPU/hr.

Which cloud providers offer the RTX 3070 and the RTX 4070 Ti?

2 providers list the RTX 3070 (SimplePod and RunPod) and 1 list the RTX 4070 Ti (RunPod), across 2 and 1 region respectively. Both are available from RunPod.

How much does 1,000 GPU-hours cost on the RTX 3070 vs the RTX 4070 Ti?

At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $50 on the RTX 3070 and $190 on the RTX 4070 Ti, a difference of $140 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.

How this comparison is calculated

Every price is normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using the same pipeline as every other pricing surface on Aquanode, and only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown. A dash means that provider does not currently list that GPU.

Architecture, compute capability and supported precisions come from each vendor's published datasheet for that generation, not from the marketplace feed. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
