What fits in 16GB GDDR7 of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3 8B | FP16 | roughly 16GB. Right at the limit; no KV-cache room. |
| Llama 3 8B | FP8 | ~8GB. Fits with real headroom for concurrency. |
| Mixtral 8x7B | INT4 | ~24GB. Does not fit on a single 16GB 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
Blackwell FP8 and FP4 tensor cores on a consumer card, with 960 GB/s of GDDR7 behind them. More dense FP8 throughput than an L40S at a fraction of the hourly rate. Good for serving models that fit in 16GB and for fine-tuning 7B-class models.
Not good for
16GB is the problem, not the compute: it's the same capacity as a two-generation-old RTX 4080, so anything past ~13B needs quantization and 70B is out entirely. No ECC and no NVLink either.

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 5080?
Live RTX 5080 rental prices currently range from $0.283 to $0.491 per GPU per hour across 2 providers, with a median of $0.390 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest RTX 5080?
Vast.ai currently offers the lowest RTX 5080 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.283 per GPU per hour in United States.
How is the RTX 5080 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 5080 cost per hour?
Live RTX 5080 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.283 to $0.491 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.390/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an RTX 5080 have?
The RTX 5080 has 16GB GDDR7, with 960 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 5080 at $0.283/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.
