NVIDIA RTX 4090 Server is a popular consumer GPU cloud server available from Immers Cloud. The RTX 4090 is the most widely-used consumer GPU for ML workloads, offering an excellent balance of 24 GB VRAM, 16,384 CUDA cores, and Ada Lovelace architecture.

Specifications

Component Specification
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (Ada Lovelace architecture)
VRAM 24 GB GDDR6X
CUDA Cores 16,384
Memory Bandwidth 1,008 GB/s
Tensor Cores 4th Generation (FP8 support)
TDP 450W
Starting Price From $0.93/hr

Performance

The RTX 4090 has become the de facto standard for cost-effective ML compute:

  • 16,384 CUDA cores with Ada Lovelace architecture
  • 4th-gen Tensor Cores supporting FP8, FP16, BF16, TF32
  • 24 GB GDDR6X — sufficient for most models up to 13B parameters
  • 1,008 GB/s bandwidth — competitive with previous-gen data center GPUs

Performance comparisons:

  • ~80% of A100 performance for FP16 training at 61% less cost
  • ~2x faster than RTX 3090 across most ML benchmarks
  • Can run 7B LLMs at good speed with 4-bit quantization
  • Excellent for Stable Diffusion / AI image generation (fastest consumer option)

At $0.93/hr, the RTX 4090 is the most popular GPU for independent ML researchers and small teams.

Best Use Cases

  • ML model training and fine-tuning (up to 7B–13B parameters)
  • AI image generation (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney-style)
  • LLM inference with quantization (GPTQ, AWQ, GGUF)
  • Computer vision training and inference
  • 3D rendering and real-time ray tracing
  • Video AI processing
  • Kaggle competitions and ML experimentation

Pros and Cons

Advantages

  • $0.93/hr — best performance per dollar for ML
  • 24 GB VRAM handles most practical models
  • FP8 Tensor Cores (same generation as H100)
  • Massive community support and optimization
  • Wide framework and model compatibility

Limitations

  • 24 GB VRAM limits larger model training
  • No ECC memory
  • No NVLink support for multi-GPU training
  • Consumer-grade reliability
  • GDDR6X bandwidth lower than HBM on data center GPUs

Pricing

Available from Immers Cloud starting at $0.93/hr. Monthly cost for 24/7: approximately $670. One of the most cost-effective GPU options available.

Recommendation

The NVIDIA RTX 4090 Server is the top recommendation for most individual ML practitioners and small teams. At under $1/hr with 24 GB VRAM and Ada Lovelace Tensor Cores, it offers unbeatable value. Start here for fine-tuning, inference, and image generation. Only upgrade to data center GPUs (A100, H100) when you need more VRAM, ECC, or multi-GPU NVLink.
