The Quadro RTX 8000 is a Turing workstation card with 48 GB of GDDR6 and NVLink bridge support. Slow by modern tensor standards, but 48 GB at this price is useful for VRAM-bound rendering and for running 32B-class 4-bit models on a budget.
A cost-efficient card for right-sized jobs: batch inference, smaller models, CI pipelines and experiments where a flagship would idle. Per-second billing makes it perfect for short bursts.
NVIDIA Q RTX 8000 specs: VRAM, TFLOPS, bandwidth
| GPU model | NVIDIA Q RTX 8000 | Architecture | Turing (2018) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VRAM | 48 GB GDDR6 | Memory bandwidth | 672 GB/s |
| FP16 tensor perf. | 65 TFLOPS | FP32 perf. | 16.3 TFLOPS |
| CUDA cores | 4,608 | TDP | 295 W |
| PowerScore (RTX 3090 = 100) | 46 | PCIe generation | Gen 3.0 |
| Multi-GPU | 1× – 2× | Max instance storage | 8,000 GB NVMe |
| Network up to | 10,000 Mbps | CUDA | 12.4 – 13.0 |
Bandwidth, CUDA cores, TDP and FP32 are public NVIDIA figures; FP16 tensor is the dense (non-sparsity) number. Machine-level values come from live inventory.
Q RTX 8000 price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved
One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the Q RTX 8000 ($0.25/hr, snapshot 2026-09-03) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $0.178, 30% below market. Interruptible halves it; a 3-month reservation takes another 35% off.
| Mode | Per GPU-hour | Per day (24 h) | Per month (730 h) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.178 | $4.27 | $130 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime |
| Interruptible | $0.089 | $2.14 | $65 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue |
| Reserved (3 months) | $0.115 | $2.76 | $84 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held |
Per GPU: an 2× machine costs exactly 2× — no multi-GPU premium. Estimate a full month with storage and bandwidth in the GPU cost calculator.
What you can run on a Q RTX 8000 (48 GB VRAM)
With 48 GB of GDDR6, a single card holds a ~14B-parameter LLM in FP16 or up to ~72B parameters quantized to 4-bit, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 2× GPUs on one machine for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $0.178.

Q RTX 8000 vs alternatives: price per TFLOP
| GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q RTX 8000 this card | 48 GB | 65 | $0.178 | $2.74‰ |
| RTX PRO 4000 | 20 GB | 150 | $0.181 | $1.21‰ |
| RTX A5000 | 24 GB | 111 | $0.161 | $1.45‰ |
| RTX PRO 4500 | 24 GB | 200 | $0.210 | $1.05‰ |
| RTX 4000Ada | 20 GB | 107 | $0.140 | $1.31‰ |
‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards.
Renting a Q RTX 8000: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA Q RTX 8000 per hour?
$0.178 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $0.25. Interruptible capacity costs $0.089/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.115/hr. Around $130/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second.
What can a Q RTX 8000 with 48 GB VRAM run?
In LLM terms, roughly a 14B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~72B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 2× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class.
Is the Q RTX 8000 available to rent right now?
Yes — 10 GPUs across 2 machines in 2 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 2×. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds.
How do I deploy a Q RTX 8000?
Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by Q RTX 8000, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu q-rtx-8000 --template pytorch.
Why is the Q RTX 8000 cheaper here than on GPU marketplaces?
We price from the public marketplace median and fix our on-demand rate at least 30% below it, rounded down. The price is re-checked weekly (next check 2026-09-10) and published — no auctions, no per-host roulette, no bidding.
