Questions
Where is the cheapest RTX 4080 right now?
On 2026-09-18 the cheapest on-demand RTX 4080 we track is $0.15 per GPU-hour at Akash (1x rtx-4080 · listed), about $108 a month per GPU. The market median across 6 providers is $0.30, so the cheapest listing is 51% below it.
Is spot cheaper?
Yes. The spot/interruptible median is $0.11 against $0.30 on-demand — 64% off — from 1 provider. The cheapest spot listing is $0.11 at SaladCloud. Spot can be taken away mid-job, which is why it never enters the headline median.
Why is the cheapest so far below the median?
Because the market is three markets. Marketplaces are independent hosts competing on price with consumer-grade uptime; neoclouds sell the GPU more directly; hyperscalers bundle CPU, RAM, network and an ecosystem into the instance price. The median sits where most providers sit; the cheapest listing is usually a marketplace host or a promotional neocloud rate. 3 of 6 providers are below the median today.
How often does this change?
