HOW TO CHOOSE
RTX 4070 vs RTX 5070
Same 12 GB, one generation newer with FP4/FP8 paths. Identical model fit - rent whichever the panel prices lower.
RTX 5070 vs RTX 4070
Same 12 GB, older architecture. The 5070 is faster per card; the 4070 sometimes rents for less. Pick on panel price - the workloads are identical.
Workload fit
RTX 4070: 7b-class inference, development, 13b-class models. RTX 5070: 7b-class inference, development and ci, 13b-class models.
RTX 4070 VS RTX 5070 - FAQ
Which is cheaper to rent, RTX 4070 or RTX 5070?
By today's published on-demand rates: RTX 4070 starts at $0.060/GPU/hr (median $0.41, 6 providers) and RTX 5070 starts at $0.045/GPU/hr (median $5.15, 5 providers). The cheapest live listing is the RTX 5070 at QuickPod. Figures recompute from the panel on every refresh.
RTX 4070 or RTX 5070 - which should I rent?
RTX 4070: The RTX 4070 is Ada's efficient mid-ranger: 200 W, 12 GB, and enough tensor throughput for 7B-class serving. RTX 5070: The RTX 5070 is Blackwell's mid-range entry: current-generation tensor cores and GDDR7 behind a 12 GB ceiling. The side-by-side spec table and live price rows above give the full picture.
