What fits in 8GB GDDR6 of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.2 3B | BF16 | roughly 6GB. Fits, with a small KV-cache budget. |
| Llama 3 8B | INT4 | ~5-6GB. Fits, tightly. |
| Mistral 7B | BF16 | ~14GB. Does not fit on a single 8GB card. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | INT4 | ~35-40GB. Does not fit. |
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 cheapest card here that still clears the INT4 kernel floor and has BF16 tensor cores. Fine for serving a quantized 7-8B model or running embeddings at 220W without paying data-center rates.
Not good for
8GB of VRAM ends the conversation for most current models: nothing above ~3B fits at BF16, and a quantized 8B leaves barely any room for context. No FP8, no ECC, and NVIDIA's own whitepaper notes GA104 omits NVLink.

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 RTX 3070?
Live RTX 3070 rental prices currently range from $0.050 to $0.130 per GPU per hour across 3 providers, with a median of $0.130 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest RTX 3070?
SimplePod currently offers the lowest RTX 3070 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.050 per GPU per hour in CA.
How is the RTX 3070 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 RTX 3070 cost per hour?
Live RTX 3070 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.050 to $0.130 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.130/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an RTX 3070 have?
The RTX 3070 has 8GB GDDR6, with 448 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 RTX 3070 at $0.050/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.
