Frequently Asked Questions
Which GPU is better for AI training: RTX 4090 or RTX 4070 Ti Super?
For AI training, the key factors are VRAM size, memory bandwidth, and tensor core performance. The RTX 4090 offers 24GB of GDDR6X memory with 1.01 TB/s bandwidth, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super provides 16GB of GDDR6X with 672 GB/s bandwidth. For larger models, the RTX 4090's higher VRAM capacity gives it an advantage.
What is the price difference between RTX 4090 and RTX 4070 Ti Super in the cloud?
Cloud GPU rental prices vary by provider and region. Based on our data, RTX 4090 starts at $0.20/hour while RTX 4070 Ti Super starts at $0.13/hour. This represents a 54% price difference.
Can I use RTX 4070 Ti Super instead of RTX 4090 for my workload?
It depends on your specific requirements. If your model fits within 16GB of VRAM and you don't need the additional throughput of the RTX 4090, the RTX 4070 Ti Super can be a cost-effective alternative. However, for workloads requiring maximum memory capacity or multi-GPU scaling, the RTX 4090's architecture may be essential.
