NVIDIA RTX 3090 Server is a value-oriented GPU cloud server available from Immers Cloud. The RTX 3090 offers 24 GB GDDR6X VRAM at a budget-friendly price point, making it a popular choice for ML workloads that need VRAM capacity over raw speed.

Specifications

Component Specification
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (Ampere architecture)
VRAM 24 GB GDDR6X
CUDA Cores 10,496
Memory Bandwidth 936 GB/s
Tensor Cores 3rd Generation
TDP 350W
Starting Price From $0.75/hr

Performance

The RTX 3090 remains highly relevant thanks to its 24 GB VRAM at an affordable price:

  • 24 GB GDDR6X — same VRAM capacity as RTX 4090, enough for most models
  • 10,496 CUDA cores with Ampere architecture
  • 3rd-gen Tensor Cores — FP16, BF16, TF32, INT8 support
  • 936 GB/s bandwidth — close to the RTX 4090's 1,008 GB/s

Compared to the NVIDIA RTX 4090 Server ($0.93/hr):

  • ~50% slower for raw compute
  • Same 24 GB VRAM capacity
  • 19% cheaper per hour
  • Better value when VRAM matters more than speed

For many inference workloads, the RTX 3090 performs similarly to the 4090 since inference is often memory-bound rather than compute-bound.

Best Use Cases

  • Budget ML training and fine-tuning
  • LLM inference with quantization
  • AI image generation (Stable Diffusion, Flux)
  • VRAM-hungry workloads on a budget
  • Computer vision model training
  • ML prototyping and experimentation
  • Video upscaling and AI enhancement

Pros and Cons

Advantages

  • $0.75/hr — very affordable for 24 GB VRAM
  • Same VRAM capacity as RTX 4090
  • Ampere Tensor Cores for accelerated ML
  • Good bandwidth for inference workloads
  • Proven platform with mature driver support

Limitations

  • ~50% slower compute than RTX 4090
  • Previous-gen Ampere architecture (no FP8)
  • No ECC memory or NVLink
  • Higher power consumption relative to performance
  • 350W TDP

Pricing

Available from Immers Cloud starting at $0.75/hr. Monthly cost for 24/7: approximately $540.

Recommendation

The NVIDIA RTX 3090 Server is the value king for users who need 24 GB VRAM without paying RTX 4090 prices. It's ideal for inference, fine-tuning, and experimentation where training speed is secondary to VRAM capacity. If speed matters more, upgrade to the NVIDIA RTX 4090 Server. For a cheaper option with less VRAM, see the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Server.
