RTX 4090 rates as listed

Renting an RTX 4090 24GB on demand starts at $0.12 per GPU-hour, the lowest listed rate, at Vast.ai. The highest is $0.92, at Runcrate, across 14 sellers, and highest over lowest is 7.7×. Each figure is one seller's cheapest on-demand list rate from its own page; none is advice about where to rent.

Over a 730-hour month the lowest rate adds up to $87.60. Sellers, rates and source pages are on the RTX 4090 page, with the date each rate was read.

The 4090 is one of the few cards in the table that buyers also own. A buyer weighing rent against purchase is reading the monthly figure against a hardware price, and a seller should expect that comparison even though this site holds no hardware prices and does not make it.

A desktop card in a data-centre table

The RTX 4090 is an Ada Lovelace card built for desktops. It uses graphics memory, where data-centre cards use stacked high-bandwidth memory, and it carries 24 GB. It is rented through marketplaces, where many hosts list machines under one storefront, and from managed providers.

That mix changes what a single row means. A marketplace row is the cheapest on-demand listing in that storefront, which may be one host's machine. A managed provider's row is its own list price. Both appear once, and the table makes no adjustment for what each includes.

For a seller this is the first thing to understand about the range. The low end and the high end may be different kinds of business, and comparing your rate with either one is comparing with a different offer, not only a different price.

What 24 GB holds

A 7 billion parameter model in 16-bit needs about 14 GB for its weights, so it fits on a 4090 with room for the key-value cache. A 13 billion parameter model in 16-bit needs about 26 GB and does not fit; in 8-bit it needs about 13 GB and does. The cache and activations add memory that depends on context length and batch size.

So the 4090 suits a model of that size, or work that never needed a data-centre card. A seller describing the card well says which model sizes its machines are set up for, next to the rate rather than below it.

The 4090 also sits beside the RTX 5090 with 32 GB and the RTX 3090 with 24 GB in the searches buyers run. A seller with more than one of these consumer cards should list each under its exact name, because the rows are kept apart and a rate attached to the wrong one is compared with the wrong range.

How the 4090 rate is chosen

We read each seller's own pricing page and keep one rate per card: the cheapest on-demand list rate on it, per GPU per hour. Interruptible rates are left out, because an interruptible card can be reclaimed and is a different product. A rate older than 21 days is hidden, so the range holds only sellers read recently.

On a marketplace, the cheapest listing can change by the hour as hosts come and go. Our figure is the one read on the date shown, and the method page sets out how often pages are read and what is refused.

A seller running a marketplace can see the consequence. Its row is whatever its cheapest listing was when the page was read, and if that listing came from a host that left an hour later, the row shows a rate no buyer could get. A storefront that publishes a stable floor price per card avoids that.

Checks for a 4090 seller

A seller cheaper than the low end shown ($0.12) yet absent from it should check that the rate is on a page that can be read without signing in, that it is quoted per GPU rather than per machine, and that the page calls the card an RTX 4090 with 24 GB. A machine with several cards priced as one unit cannot be matched to a per-card rate unless the count is plain.

At or past the high end ($0.92), say what the hour buys. System memory, storage, a fixed location, and whether the machine is shared or yours alone are all things a buyer weighs on this card, and none of them appear in a rate.

If a figure held for you is wrong, a claimed listing can correct it. The GPU price index shows how this card sits among the others, which helps a seller pricing several cards at once.

What the 4090 table leaves out

The rate says nothing about a host's reliability, how often an instance is interrupted, or where the machine is. None of that is in the data. It also says nothing about how many hours sell at any rate, so the low end may be a busy seller or an idle one.

Sellers at the same rate can be selling different things. Read the source page behind each row before treating the figure as a price you compete with.

The table also does not distinguish a card in a home machine from one in a hosting facility, because sellers do not publish that in a form we read. If that matters to your buyers, it belongs on your own page in plain words, next to the rate.

What we could not answer

⚑No data is held on host reliability or interruption rates, so the table cannot separate a dependable seller from an unreliable one.
⚑Marketplace rates can change between reads, so the figure shown is the one read on its date, not the price right now.

Questions people ask about this

How much does it cost to rent an RTX 4090 in the cloud?

Listed on-demand rates held for the RTX 4090 24GB start at $0.12 per GPU-hour and reach $0.92. Each figure is one seller's cheapest on-demand list rate from its own pricing page, and rates older than 21 days are hidden.

Can an RTX 4090 run a 13 billion parameter model?

Not in 16-bit, where the weights need about 26 GB against the 24 GB on the card. In 8-bit the weights need about 13 GB and fit, with the key-value cache needing more on top depending on context length and batch size.

What makes one RTX 4090 rental rate differ from another?

Sellers range from marketplaces, where many hosts list machines, to managed providers with their own list prices. What the hour includes also differs: system memory, storage, location and whether the machine is shared. The rate alone cannot show which of these a buyer is paying for.
