About RTX 3080 GPU
The NVIDIA RTX 3080 was introduced in 2020 on the Ampere architecture. Its specification combines 8,704 CUDA cores with 10GB of GDDR6X, which defines both the workloads it can run and the batch sizes it can hold.
Based on its 10GB memory capacity, the RTX 3080 is best evaluated for compact inference, rendering, computer vision, and legacy CUDA workloads. Always size the model, optimizer state, KV cache, and framework overhead together rather than choosing a GPU from core count alone.
GPUvec currently tracks 1 cloud listing for the RTX 3080, with the lowest observed hourly rate at $0.09. Prices and availability can change by provider, region, and instance configuration, so verify the final rate before starting a workload.
For software planning, the RTX 3080 combines 760 GB/s of memory bandwidth, CUDA compute capability the latest, and a 8nm manufacturing process. Confirm the minimum CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or driver version required by your application before renting or purchasing hardware.
