RTX 2070 cloud GPU pricing
3 listings across 2 providers. Cheapest published rate: $0.020/GPU/hr at Salad. Sorted by per-GPU hourly price. Every row links to the provider's own published price.
WHAT IS THE RTX 2070
The 2070 introduced consumer tensor cores in 2018. In 2026 catalogs it sits at the price floor: 8 GB and first-generation tensor cores make it a legacy dev card - usable for small experiments, outclassed for everything current.
TENSOR COMPUTE
7.5 TFLOPS FP32; 1st-gen tensor cores
WHAT IT IS GOOD AT
Learning and dev
The cheapest CUDA-capable capacity for coursework and experiments.
7B inference
Barely - 4-bit with minimal context.

At the current floor, one RTX 2070 running around the clock costs about $15 a month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic). Per-GPU floors by config size: 1x $0.02 · 2x $0.07 · 4x $0.07. Compare the alternatives below before committing - the same budget often buys more than one chip class.
RTX 2070 VS THE ALTERNATIVES
The 3060's 12 GB and newer architecture open real workloads for usually a small premium over the 2070's 8 GB.
Same vintage, different market - the T4's 16 GB and datacenter drivers make it the better cheap inference card despite lower clocks.
