Machine-level values come from live inventory. ## Tesla P4 price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the Tesla P4 ($0.03/hr, snapshot 2026-09-14) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $0.018, **33% 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** | $0.018 | $0.43 | $13 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime | | **Interruptible** | $0.009 | $0.22 | $7 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue | | **Reserved (3 months)** | $0.011 | $0.26 | $8 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held | Per GPU: an 8× machine costs exactly 8× — 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 Tesla P4 (8 GB VRAM) With 8 GB of GDDR5X, a single card holds a **~3B-parameter LLM in FP16** or up to **~8B parameters quantized to 4-bit**, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 8× GPUs on one machine for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $0.018. - One-click template: [Ollama on a Tesla P4](https://powergpu.ai/templates/ollama) - One-click template: [SD WebUI Forge on a Tesla P4](https://powergpu.ai/templates/sd-webui-forge) - One-click template: [Whisper WebUI & API on a Tesla P4](https://powergpu.ai/templates/whisper-webui-api) - Sizing help: [LLM VRAM requirements guide](https://powergpu.ai/guides/llm-vram-requirements) ## Tesla P4 availability by region 18 × Tesla P4 across 3 machines, live from inventory: - Los Angeles, CA - Miami, FL - Seattle, WA ## Tesla P4 vs alternatives: price per TFLOP | GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Tesla P4** (this card) | 8 GB | 6 | $0.018 | $3.00‰ | | [Tesla P40](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/tesla-p40) | 24 GB | 12 | $0.047 | $3.92‰ | | [Tesla P100](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/tesla-p100) | 16 GB | 19 | $0.066 | $3.47‰ | | [Tesla T4](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/tesla-t4) | 16 GB | 65 | $0.103 | $1.58‰ | | [Tesla V100](https://powergpu.ai/gpu/tesla-v100) | 16 GB | 125 | $0.130 | $1.04‰ | ‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards. ## Renting a Tesla P4: frequently asked questions **How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA Tesla P4 per hour?** $0.018 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $0.03. Interruptible capacity costs $0.009/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.011/hr. Around $13/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second. **What can a Tesla P4 with 8 GB VRAM run?** In LLM terms, roughly a 3B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~8B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 8× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class. **Is the Tesla P4 available to rent right now?** Yes — 18 GPUs across 3 machines in 3 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 8×. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds. **How do I deploy a Tesla P4?** Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by Tesla P4, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu tesla-p4 --template pytorch. **Why is the Tesla P4 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. --- *About PowerGPU:* PowerGPU (powergpu.ai) is a cloud GPU rental service offering 80 NVIDIA GPU models — from the RTX A2000 at $0.024/hr to the B300 — at fixed prices set at least 30% below the public GPU marketplace median and re-checked weekly (H100 SXM: $1.428/hr on-demand). Billing is per second with no minimums; payment is crypto only (USDT, BTC, XMR, ETH, SOL, LTC, TRX) with no KYC. Instances run in Tier-III datacenters across 32 regions with a 99.9% uptime SLA and deploy in about 30 seconds from the web console (cloud.powergpu.ai) or the REST API.
