Previous gen · Turing architecture

The Quadro RTX 8000 is a Turing workstation card with 48 GB of GDDR6 and NVLink bridge support. Slow by modern tensor standards, but 48 GB at this price is useful for VRAM-bound rendering and for running 32B-class 4-bit models on a budget.

A cost-efficient card for right-sized jobs: batch inference, smaller models, CI pipelines and experiments where a flagship would idle. Per-second billing makes it perfect for short bursts.

## NVIDIA Q RTX 8000 specs: VRAM, TFLOPS, bandwidth

- **GPU model**: NVIDIA Q RTX 8000 · **Architecture**: Turing (2018)
- **VRAM**: 48 GB GDDR6 · **Memory bandwidth**: 672 GB/s
- **FP16 tensor perf.**: 65 TFLOPS · **FP32 perf.**: 16.3 TFLOPS
- **CUDA cores**: 4,608 · **TDP**: 295 W
- **PowerScore ((RTX 3090 = 100))**: 46 · **PCIe generation**: Gen 3.0
- **Multi-GPU**: 1× – 2× · **Max instance storage**: 8,000 GB NVMe
- **Network up to**: 10,000 Mbps · **CUDA**: 12.4 – 13.0

Bandwidth, CUDA cores, TDP and FP32 are public NVIDIA figures; FP16 tensor is the dense (non-sparsity) number. Machine-level values come from live inventory.

## Q RTX 8000 price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved

One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the Q RTX 8000 ($0.25/hr, snapshot 2026-09-14) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $0.178, **30% below market**. Interruptible halves it; a 3-month reservation takes another 35% off.

| Mode | Per GPU-hour | Per day (24 h) | Per month (730 h) | What you get |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **On-demand** | $0.178 | $4.27 | $130 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime |
| **Interruptible** | $0.089 | $2.14 | $65 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue |
| **Reserved (3 months)** | $0.115 | $2.76 | $84 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held |

Per GPU: an 2× machine costs exactly 2× — no multi-GPU premium. Estimate a full month with storage and bandwidth in the [GPU cost calculator](https://powergpu.ai/calculator).

## What you can run on a Q RTX 8000 (48 GB VRAM)

With 48 GB of GDDR6, a single card holds a **~14B-parameter LLM in FP16** or up to **~72B parameters quantized to 4-bit**, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 2× GPUs on one machine for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $0.178.

## Q RTX 8000 vs alternatives: price per TFLOP

| GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Q RTX 8000** (this card) | 48 GB | 65 | $0.178 | $2.74‰ |
| [RTX PRO 4000](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/rtx-pro-4000) | 20 GB | 150 | $0.183 | $1.22‰ |
| [RTX A5000](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/rtx-a5000) | 24 GB | 111 | $0.161 | $1.45‰ |
| [RTX 4000Ada](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/rtx-4000ada) | 20 GB | 107 | $0.128 | $1.20‰ |
| [Titan RTX](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/titan-rtx) | 24 GB | 65 | $0.103 | $1.58‰ |

‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards.

## Renting a Q RTX 8000: frequently asked questions

**How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA Q RTX 8000 per hour?**

$0.178 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $0.25. Interruptible capacity costs $0.089/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.115/hr. Around $130/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second.

**What can a Q RTX 8000 with 48 GB VRAM run?**

In LLM terms, roughly a 14B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~72B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 2× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class.

**Is the Q RTX 8000 available to rent right now?**

Yes — 5 GPUs across 2 machines in 2 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 2×. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds.

**How do I deploy a Q RTX 8000?**

Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by Q RTX 8000, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu q-rtx-8000 --template pytorch.

**Why is the Q RTX 8000 cheaper here than on GPU marketplaces?**

We price from the public marketplace median and fix our on-demand rate at least 30% below it, rounded down. The price is re-checked weekly (next check 2026-09-21) and published — no auctions, no per-host roulette, no bidding.
