01 Side by side

What is the difference between the RTX 3090 and the RTX A5000?

Every figure is the one we rent against, taken from the same catalogue the dashboard prices from. Per-GPU-hour is the flat monthly price divided by 720 hours; you are never billed by the hour.

02 Verdict

Which should you rent?

Both cards carry 24 GB, so capacity is not what decides this one. Bandwidth is 936 GB/s against 768 GB/s, and for single-stream token generation it is bandwidth that sets the speed, not the FLOPS figure on the spec sheet. The RTX 3090 costs 21% more per month, $230 against $190, or $0.32 against $0.26 per GPU-hour.
