About the RTX 4090
The RTX 4090 is NVIDIA’s Ada-generation GeForce flagship and one of the most rented GPUs on Lium. It carries 24 GB of GDDR6X at 1,008 GB/s and fourth-generation tensor cores with native FP8, so for single-card inference and fine-tuning of small models it often matches far more expensive data center cards per dollar. It is the usual pick for Stable Diffusion, for serving 7B–13B models, and for experiments that do not need 80 GB on one card. On Lium it is rented from independent providers by the second, with no minimum and no reservation. If you own one, you can list it on Lium and earn whenever it is rented.
What people run on it
- Inference of 7B–13B models, quantized up to 34B
- Stable Diffusion and image generation
- LoRA and QLoRA fine-tuning
- Rendering, notebooks and prototyping

What runs on one RTX 4090
With 24 GB of memory, one card holds roughly the following open models for inference, counting the weights plus about 20% for activations and cache. Rent several GPUs in one pod to go bigger.
| Precision | Largest model that fits |
|---|---|
| FP16 | 7B parameters |
| 8-bit | 13B parameters |
| 4-bit | 34B parameters |
Running one RTX 4090 around the clock for a month (730 hours) costs about $219 at the reference price; you pay only for the seconds a pod runs.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an RTX 4090 on Lium?
No RTX 4090 pod is free at this moment. The marketplace reference price is $0.30 per GPU-hour; the page updates when a provider lists one.
Where is the cheapest place to rent an RTX 4090 by the hour?
No RTX 4090 pod is free on Lium at this moment; the reference price is $0.30 per GPU-hour, billed per second with no minimum once a provider lists one.
Is there a minimum rental period?
No. Lium bills per second with no minimum and no reservation: start the pod when you need it, delete it when the job is done, and pay for the seconds it ran.
How do I rent an RTX 4090 pod?
Top up a balance by card or crypto, pick an RTX 4090 pod on the marketplace, choose a Docker template, add your SSH key and deploy. From a script, run lium up with the node id after exporting LIUM_API_KEY.
Where do the machines run, and what happens to my data?
Providers run their own hardware in their own facilities, and every pod on the marketplace names its city and country, so you can pick a region before you start. Your data lives on the machine you rented and is released when you delete the pod; attach a volume if you need storage that outlives a single pod.
