GPU MODELS / RTX 4000 ADA
RTX 4000 Ada cloud GPU pricing
8 listings across 6 providers. Cheapest published rate: $0.090/GPU/hr at SpotGPUs. Sorted by per-GPU hourly price. Every row links to the provider's own published price.
WHAT IS THE RTX 4000 ADA
The RTX 4000 Ada is the most efficient professional card of its generation: 20 GB ECC, 360 GB/s, and a 130 W single-slot board that needs no power connector games. On cloud panels it is the budget professional inference answer - real ECC memory and workstation drivers at consumer-card prices.
TENSOR COMPUTE
26.7 TFLOPS FP32 (327.6 TFLOPS FP8 tensor with sparsity, 6,144 CUDA cores)
INTERCONNECT
PCIe 4.0 x16, single-slot
WHAT IT IS GOOD AT
Budget professional inference
20 GB holds a 13B at 4-bit or a 7B at FP16. At 130 W it is the cheapest per-watt professional serving option of the Ada line.
CAD, rendering, and visualization
The design target: 48 third-gen RT cores and certified drivers in a single slot.
Fine-tuning
LoRA on 7B-class models works. 360 GB/s and 20 GB rule out anything ambitious.
WHO SHOULD NOT RENT THE RTX 4000 ADA
Models over 20 GB - there is no NVLink and no headroom.
Bandwidth-hungry serving: 360 GB/s is a third of an L40S; high-throughput decode will feel it.
THE RTX 4000 ADA MARKET, BY THE NUMBERS
6 providers publish 8 RTX 4000 Ada configurations on the panel today. Published per-GPU hourly rates run from $0.090 (SpotGPUs) to $0.84 (Machine0), a 9x spread between the cheapest and the most expensive published rate for the same chip. The median listing sits at $0.53/GPU/hr. 8 rows were reported in stock by the provider at last observation; the rest are published catalog rates. All rates are on-demand - committed-use and reserved pricing is excluded.
RTX 4000 ADA PRICE TREND, DAILY PANEL SNAPSHOTS
Across every RTX 4000 Ada row on the panel, the daily floor moved from $0.200 to $0.090/GPU/hr over 11 days of tracking (-55.0%). Snapshots run daily; the full history is public in the repo.

At the current floor, one RTX 4000 Ada running around the clock costs about $66 a month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic). Per-GPU floors by config size: 1x $0.09 · 2x $0.53 · 4x $0.74. Compare the alternatives below before committing - the same budget often buys more than one chip class.
RTX 4000 ADA VS THE ALTERNATIVES
The generational step: 20 GB versus 16 GB, Ada tensor cores with FP8 versus Ampere, and 130 W versus 140 W. The Ada card is faster, roomier, and cheaper to run - the A4000 only makes sense at a deep discount.
The Blackwell successor: 24 GB GDDR7 at 672 GB/s - nearly double the bandwidth - with FP4 support, at 140 W. If the panel prices them within ~30% of each other, take the Blackwell card.

RTX 4000 ADA PRICING FAQ
What is the cheapest RTX 4000 Ada cloud GPU right now?
The cheapest published RTX 4000 Ada rate on the panel is $0.090 per GPU-hour at SpotGPUs (RTX 4000 Ada x 1, Not published). Every price links to the provider's own published rate.
How much does a RTX 4000 Ada cost per hour?
Across 6 providers tracked today, published per-GPU hourly rates for RTX 4000 Ada run from $0.09 to $0.84, with a median of $0.53. Committed-use and reserved rates are excluded; everything shown is on-demand.
How many providers rent RTX 4000 Ada GPUs?
6 providers publish 8 distinct RTX 4000 Ada configurations on Compute Cafe. 8 of those rows were reported in stock by the provider's live endpoint at last observation.
Are RTX 4000 Ada prices going up or down?
Over the 11 days Compute Cafe has tracked the panel, the RTX 4000 Ada floor is falling: $0.200 to $0.090/GPU/hr (-55.0%). Daily snapshots are public in the repo, so the trend is auditable.
What does a RTX 4000 Ada cost per month?
At the current floor of $0.090/GPU/hr, a RTX 4000 Ada running 24/7 costs about $66 per month (730 hours of on-demand arithmetic on the cheapest published rate). Committed-use contracts can price lower; the panel tracks on-demand rates only.
Is the RTX 4000 Ada worth renting for LLM work?
For small models, yes - a 13B at 4-bit or a 7B at FP16 fits in 20 GB, and 130 W keeps hourly rates low. For 30B-class models or high-throughput serving, the 360 GB/s bandwidth and 20 GB ceiling are the wrong trade.
RTX 4000 Ada vs consumer RTX 4060?
The RTX 4000 Ada adds ECC memory, 20 GB versus 8-16 GB, certified drivers, and better sustained throughput at similar power. For professional or long-running workloads it is the right card; for a dev box, the consumer card is cheaper.
