What fits in 24GB GDDR6 of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3 8B | FP16 | ~16GB. Fits, though with a tight KV-cache budget. |
| Llama 3 8B | INT4 | ~5-6GB. Fits comfortably, leaves room for a real batch size. |
| Mistral 7B | INT4 | ~4-5GB. Fits easily. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | INT4 | ~35-40GB. Does not fit on a single 24GB card. |
Approximate, based on published parameter counts and standard bytes-per-parameter rules of thumb (FP16 ≈ 2 bytes/param, INT4 ≈ 0.5-0.6 bytes/param). Real footprint also depends on KV-cache size and framework overhead.
Good for
The lowest-power card on this marketplace (72W, single low-profile slot). Built for dense inference deployments and video/AI pipelines where power and rack density matter more than raw throughput, not for training.
Not good for
24GB VRAM and 300 GB/s bandwidth rule out anything beyond small-model inference. A 70B-class model doesn't fit even quantized, and it has no NVLink for multi-card scale-up.

How this price is calculated
All prices on this page are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, so that raw price is divided by the number of GPUs it actually covers; Akash reports its price as already per-GPU, so it is used as-listed. An offer with a missing, zero, or invalid GPU count is excluded entirely rather than published at a guessed rate.
No offers were excluded from this snapshot for a missing or invalid price. No offers were dropped as price outliers in this snapshot.
Only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown in the table above. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a L4?
Live L4 rental prices currently range from $0.490 to $0.490 per GPU per hour across 1 provider, with a median of $0.490 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest L4?
RunPod currently offers the lowest L4 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.490 per GPU per hour in Unknown.
How is the L4 price calculated?
All prices are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, which the raw price is divided by; Akash reports its price as already per-GPU. Offers whose price can't be safely normalized, or whose rate is an extreme outlier against the rest of the market, are excluded.
How much does an L4 cost per hour?
Live L4 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.490 to $0.490 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.490/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an L4 have?
The L4 has 24GB GDDR6, with 300 GB/s of peak memory bandwidth.
Is renting cheaper than buying?
Renting avoids the upfront hardware cost and lets you match spend to actual usage. A rented L4 at $0.490/hr only costs money while it's running, whereas buying ties up capital in hardware that keeps depreciating whether it's in use or not. Which is cheaper depends on how continuously you'd run it; short or bursty workloads usually favor renting.
