VRAMNeeded Calculator

Cloud GPU prices, by VRAM

Not enough VRAM at home? Renting a cloud GPU by the hour is the quickest way to run a bigger model. Pick a model below to see the cheapest setup that holds it, then check the full price list.

Cheapest cloud setup for a model

Pick a model. We check 1, 2, 4 and 8 of every GPU below and list the cheapest setups that hold it.

Fit rule: weights + KV cache under 90% of the combined VRAM, split evenly across the GPUs (llama.cpp, vLLM and Ollama can do this). Prices checked 2026-10-23.

Checked 2026-10-23. GPU prices change often and stock varies by region, so confirm on the provider's page before you rent. Where Lambda lists different per-GPU rates for 1, 2, 4 or 8 GPUs we show each one. Runpod lists one per-GPU rate. These are plain links, not affiliate links.

  1. Runpod: GPU Cloud Pricing (Pods, per hour; page says 'Updated October 8, 2026')
  2. Lambda: AI cloud pricing (Instances, price per GPU per hour, plus tax)

How to read this

  • Per GPU, per hour. A setup with 2 GPUs costs twice the per-GPU rate. Where Lambda lists a different rate for bigger machines, we use that rate.
  • VRAM decides what fits. The setup finder uses the same 90% rule as our VRAM calculator: weights plus KV cache must stay under 90% of the combined VRAM.
  • Only two providers so far. We only list prices we could read on the provider's own pricing page. More providers will be added as we verify them.
  • No affiliate links. None of these links earn us anything.
