Consumer flagship · Ampere architecture
The RTX 3090 is still the cheapest 24 GB card you can rent: Ampere, 10,496 CUDA cores, 936 GB/s GDDR6X. Older tensor cores mean lower FP16 throughput than a 4090, but for batch image generation, LoRA training and 13B-class inference it delivers the most VRAM per dollar on the sheet.
The community favourite: consumer pricing with serious tensor throughput. Ideal for diffusion models, quantized LLMs and fine-tuning runs that fit in 24 GB. Supply is deep, so interruptible capacity is almost always available at half price.
NVIDIA RTX 3090 specs: VRAM, TFLOPS, bandwidth
| GPU model | NVIDIA RTX 3090 | Architecture | Ampere (2020) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VRAM | 24 GB GDDR6X | Memory bandwidth | 936 GB/s |
| FP16 tensor perf. | 142 TFLOPS | FP32 perf. | 35.6 TFLOPS |
| CUDA cores | 10,496 | TDP | 350 W |
| PowerScore (RTX 3090 = 100) | 100 | PCIe generation | Gen 4.0 |
| Multi-GPU | 1× – 8× | Max instance storage | 4,000 GB NVMe |
| Network up to | 2,500 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.
RTX 3090 price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved
One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the RTX 3090 ($0.15/hr, snapshot 2026-09-03) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $0.104, 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 | $0.104 | $2.50 | $76 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime |
| Interruptible | $0.052 | $1.25 | $38 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue |
| Reserved (3 months) | $0.067 | $1.61 | $49 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held |
Per GPU: an 8× machine costs exactly 8× — no multi-GPU premium. Estimate a full month with storage and bandwidth in the GPU cost calculator.
What you can run on a RTX 3090 (24 GB VRAM)
With 24 GB of GDDR6X, a single card holds a ~8B-parameter LLM in FP16 or up to ~32B parameters quantized to 4-bit, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 8× GPUs on one machine for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $0.104.

RTX 3090 vs alternatives: price per TFLOP
| GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 3090 this card | 24 GB | 142 | $0.104 | $0.73‰ |
| RTX 3080 Ti | 12 GB | 136 | $0.084 | $0.62‰ |
| RTX 3090 Ti | 24 GB | 160 | $0.131 | $0.82‰ |
| RTX 3070 Ti | 8 GB | 87 | $0.075 | $0.86‰ |
| RTX 3080 | 10 GB | 119 | $0.066 | $0.55‰ |
‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards.

Renting a RTX 3090: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA RTX 3090 per hour?
$0.104 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $0.15. Interruptible capacity costs $0.052/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.067/hr. Around $76/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second.
What can a RTX 3090 with 24 GB VRAM run?
In LLM terms, roughly a 8B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~32B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 8× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class.
Is the RTX 3090 available to rent right now?
Yes — 429 GPUs across 30 machines in 19 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 8×. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds.
How do I deploy a RTX 3090?
Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by RTX 3090, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu rtx-3090 --template pytorch.
Why is the RTX 3090 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.
