What fits in 24GB GDDR6X of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3 8B | BF16 | roughly 16GB. Fits with a usable KV cache. |
| Mixtral 8x7B | INT4 | ~24GB. Right at the limit; expect to need offload. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | INT4 | ~35-40GB. Does not fit on one card; fits across two. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | BF16 | ~140GB. Needs 6 cards. |
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
24GB and 936 GB/s at the cheapest hourly rate of any 24GB card here, plus a working NVLink bridge. Two of these give 48GB with a real GPU-to-GPU path, which no other consumer card on this marketplace can do.
Not good for
Ampere: no FP8 tensor cores at all, so FP8 serving is off the table and it does roughly a quarter of an RTX 4090's effective inference throughput on quantized workloads. No ECC, 350W, and a 3-slot card.

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 3090?
Live RTX 3090 rental prices currently range from $0.147 to $0.500 per GPU per hour across 4 providers, with a median of $0.237 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest RTX 3090?
Akash currently offers the lowest RTX 3090 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.147 per GPU per hour in SFO.
How is the RTX 3090 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 3090 cost per hour?
Live RTX 3090 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.147 to $0.500 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.237/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an RTX 3090 have?
The RTX 3090 has 24GB GDDR6X, with 936 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 3090 at $0.147/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.
