What fits in 10GB GDDR6X (a 12GB variant also ships) of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.2 3B | BF16 | roughly 6GB. Fits with room for a batch. |
| Llama 3 8B | INT4 | ~5-6GB. Fits comfortably. |
| Mistral 7B | BF16 | ~14GB. Does not fit on a single 10GB 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
760 GB/s of GDDR6X for very little money. For small-model inference where the bottleneck is memory bandwidth rather than capacity, it is one of the better throughput-per-dollar cards on this marketplace.
Not good for
10GB. That is the binding limit on almost everything: a 7B model at BF16 does not fit, so essentially all LLM work here has to be quantized. No FP8 (Ampere), no ECC, no 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 3080?
Live RTX 3080 rental prices currently range from $0.170 to $0.180 per GPU per hour across 1 provider, with a median of $0.180 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest RTX 3080?
RunPod currently offers the lowest RTX 3080 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.170 per GPU per hour in Unknown.
How is the RTX 3080 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 3080 cost per hour?
Live RTX 3080 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.170 to $0.180 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.180/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an RTX 3080 have?
The RTX 3080 has 10GB GDDR6X (a 12GB variant also ships), with 760 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 3080 at $0.170/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.
