HOW TO CHOOSE

RTX 4080 Super vs RTX 4090
The real decision: the 4090 gives you 24 GB and 1,008 GB/s for a higher hourly rate. If your model fits in 16 GB, the 4080 Super is the value play; if it does not, no core-count comparison saves you - take the 4090.
Workload fit
RTX 4080 Super: mid-size inference, rendering and creative work, fine-tuning. RTX 4090: small-model inference, fine-tuning 7b-13b, image generation.

RTX 4080 Super or RTX 4090 - which should I rent?
RTX 4080 Super: The RTX 4080 Super is the full AD103 die: 10,240 CUDA cores and 16 GB at 736 GB/s for 320 W, launched cheaper than the 4080 it replaced. RTX 4090: The RTX 4090 is the consumer card that built the budget GPU-cloud market: L40S-class FP16 throughput at a fraction of the price, limited by 24 GB of memory, no ECC, and no datacenter software features. The side-by-side spec table and live price rows above give the full picture.
