Questions
How much does it cost to rent an L40S?
On 2026-11-10: secure on-demand prices ranged n/a per GPU-hour across 0 providers; community and marketplace prices were lower and spot lower still. Form and tier matter, see the table.
What is the difference between SXM and PCIe L40S?
SXM cards sit on HGX boards with a fast GPU-to-GPU fabric and are usually priced higher; PCIe cards are standard add-in cards. We never rank them against each other without a label.
Is spot cheaper than on-demand?
Per hour, yes, but spot can be interrupted. The estimator adds your own rerun rate so you can compare the whole job.
