RTX 5060 Ti vs T4: Specs, VRAM & Price
Short answer: choose the RTX 5060 Ti when your workload uses FP8 quantized inference or serving. Choose the T4 when your workload is BF16/FP32-only and FP8 buys you nothing.
Both the RTX 5060 Ti and the T4 ship with 16 GB of VRAM.
You can rent both by the hour, no purchase required. RTX 5060 Ti from $0.195/GPU/hr; T4 from $0.185/GPU/hr. The T4 is 5% cheaper at the entry rate.

At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $195 on the RTX 5060 Ti and $185 on the T4, a difference of $10 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.
How much VRAM does the RTX 5060 Ti have compared to the T4?
Both the RTX 5060 Ti and the T4 ship with 16 GB of VRAM.
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.
Memory bandwidth, tensor TFLOPS, NVLink/interconnect and max board power are the same verified-from-datasheet figures shown on each model's own RTX 5060 Ti page and T4 page, which link the primary vendor source for that model. A dash here means Aquanode hasn't verified that figure from a primary source yet, never a guess.
