On-demand and secure-cloud rates are capacity the provider runs, with no reservation. Spot and community capacity can be interrupted. A marketplace host is one independent owner's server listed on a marketplace. Prices are per GPU per hour, before storage and data transfer. Every row shows the date it was checked.

Price changes

  • 30 days: +2.3% across 9 matching on-demand configurations since 22 September 2026.
  • 90 days: +5.4% across 9 matching on-demand configurations since 24 July 2026.

Changes use the geometric mean of price ratios for the same provider, variant, tier, GPU count, instance and region (RunPod's place is where that day's stock sat, so it is not matched). New listings are not counted as price changes. Full ledger on the history hub.

Models that need more than one L40S

Compare model memory requirements or change context and memory assumptions on a model's page.

When to choose the L40S, and what to pick instead

Start from memory: your model, its context and your batch must fit in 48 GB (the model-fit table above estimates it). Then the L40S is the right card unless one of these fits your job better.

Our workload guides recommend the L40S for 3D rendering, self-hosted AI agents, batch inference, computer vision, LLM inference, Stable Diffusion & ComfyUI and AI video generation. Each compares it with the other cards that suit that job, at today's prices.

Rent or buy the L40S

Confirmed L40S purchase listings start at $7,569 (L40S 48GB, ASA Computers, checked 22 October 2026, out of stock). That sum rents about 7,884 GPU-hours at today's cheapest on-demand rate of $0.96, about 3.8 years at 40 hours a week, before electricity, hosting and resale.

Compare L40S purchase prices and quote availability, then enter your usage and electricity costs in the rent-versus-buy calculator. Purchase listings have their own variants, stock status and update dates. Compare two GPUs.
